I thought a MID was an intel-based device that ran linux. And then the name got co-opted by non-intel based devices that ran linux.

When will we rename smartphones?]]>Sep 19th 2009 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/

If you own a WinMo device, try the following Acid3 test, on your IE mobile browser:

http://acid3.acidtests.org/

For the sake of comparison, the major desktop browsers show results like these:

Chrome 2.0 - 100/100
Safari 4.0 - 100/100
Opera 10 - 100/100
Firefox 3.5.3 - 93/100
IE 8 - 20/100

If you compare the iPhone 3GS to the Zune HD, you may see results like this:
iPhone 3GS - 100/100
Zune HD - 5/100

As you can see, Microsoft's is not only spreading around IE6 level non-standard crap with WinMo, but also with the new Zune HD.]]>Sep 19th 2009 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/
Of course, Microsoft has a long way to go in making its internet browsers more standards compliant, and IE8 was designed more to pass the Acid2 test, than the Acid3 test that only recently came out during IE8's development. However, claiming that its still "IE6 level" is just wrong. IE6 was much worse. ]]>Sep 19th 2009 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/
"standards compliance isn't the only thing that makes a good browser"

If you were a web developer, I'm sure you'd beg to differ. Because of IE's market share, web developers have to kludge their sites, to support it. Microsoft should have a conscience not to ship IE, on any of their products, until they can get it right.]]>Sep 19th 2009 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/
Since I'm not a developer, I care more about the other stuff. ]]>Sep 20th 2009 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/Sep 19th 2009 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/
This used to be an internet tablet, or maybe a DPA.]]>Sep 19th 2009 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/qi-smartbook-u1000-rolls-with-winmo-few-buttons/Sep 20th 2009 8:01AM
