S60 browser goes iPhone
widianuser | 13 December, 2007 17:06
Sometimes I envy iPhone owners.
It doesn't help that my phone - unlike iPhone - has an open platform,
tons of 3rd party applications, embedded GPS, good camera, 3,5G
connections etc. What my phone doesn't have is the marketing buzz that
pushes major web sites to make special optimized pages for iPhone users.
I'm a big fan of Google's solutions and when they launched a special
service for iPhone, I made a quick software hack and changed the N95
browser to introduce itself as iPhone's browser. Result was somewhat
surprising. Both phones have a browser with a common core (I've been
told) and AJAX support, so my guess was that pages made for iPhone would work just fine
with N95. However, that was not quite the case: iPhonesque Google-pages
in S60 don't every time draw completely and some items seem to be
missing.
