Very very slow to load. Poor usability. Takes up a lot of space. But at least it is a full, frames-capable brower unlike Pocket I.E. which doesn't even understand "noframes" let alone "frames"! Development seems to have been abandoned, probably because Windows Mobile is a backwater O/S so no-one wants to work on the project, the real action is elsewhere e.g. Symbian.

To slow... To huge... Not usable on standard Wm 5.0 Pocket PC. But version 0.2 works much better than older versions.

.02 looks smooth and starts Faster however it fails to connect with the network. So reverted back to .016 and just accept some of the bugs-keyboard popup, crashes, and inability to browse files for html uploads, to name the bigger ones... Still much better than the built in IE Microbrowser!

A long way to go... but will "watch this space".

At first it was great but it is very slow on the T-Mobile MDA.

It's an okay web browser, and superior to PPC Internet Explorer. However, it is a complicated program and runs slowly. Opera Mini is a good alternative that is (as of right now) King of the Hill. Opera costs $20, though. There is a 30 day trial available, but downloading it once a month ends up as a pain.

Agree... too slow... :(

Too slow and heavy to be usable.

v0.016 doesn't start on my device. Older versions run, but Minimo is extremly slow ... Instead I'm using Opera mini, it's small and fast.
* [Aug 18, 2006] by Zorlac using Cingular 8125 HTC Wizard (Same as MDA)
As already reported, this is painfully slow and crashes the wizard. Opera Mini is far superior.

I had high hopes for this updated version, but sadly, it's still diabolically slow, screws up my whole system, and requires a soft reset after trying to use it. The programmer should be ashamed for releasing it in this state.

Wow! The new version is really good. The first versions that were reviewed by the previous people were frankly bad but this version is much better. It looks and works better than the IE that comes with the ppc. It's looks and works a lot like firefox or (if you're a mac user)safari. I really like this version and look forward to new releases.

I would stay away from this soft. I tried the last 2 version. Extremely slow and memory hungry.
*** [May 26, 2006] by anissa using imate JasJar
the tabbed windows were nice but it ran painfully slowly

It sure isn't the same as the desktop version. I was hoping it would support sessions so I could log in on different PHP sites. But it doesn't like IE.
