Even says on the download page: "Please remember that this is early preview software and does contain many known flaws. It will be updated frequently. You are encouraged to check back at this page often for updates, or make use of the built-in update feature in the browser."  Nothing wrong with getting an early cut into the market for folk to hammer on. Not surprised to hear its sucking on the BlackJack. Thats an underpowered toy phone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wizlevard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 11th 2008 8:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Iris browser brings WebKit to Windows Mobile]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/iris-browser-brings-webkit-to-windows-mobile/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/iris-browser-brings-webkit-to-windows-mobile/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks for all the comments and feedback - here and through our site. We've poured a lot of work into the Iris Browser, but we know it's not perfect yet. We tried to be clear that this first release is a very early preview - but we wanted to get it out there to demonstrate that it's definitely not vaporware.<br><br>A quick observation about some of the feedback: we're getting a few questions and comments about the performance of the Iris Browser on low-spec phones. We're confident that we can optimize it to work really well on a range of devices, but the experience is always going to be better on the higher end smartphones, and this release is only designed for Windows Mobile 6. We've tested on the Motorola Q and the HTC TyTn II. We know it doesn't work well on the first versions of the Samsung Blackjack. We're still sprinting as hard as we can to improve and update the preview release every day, and hope that those of you who didn't like the first cut will bear with us and give the Iris Browser a second look in the next couple of weeks.<br><br>-- George Staikos, President, Torch Mobile]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[George Staikos]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 12th 2008 2:11AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
