Robin Jewsbury's Forum Nokia Blog

S60 browser *really* does go IPhone

robin.jewsbury | 17 December, 2007 17:40

I was interested by Harri's blog on how to turn the N95 into an iPhone.  He was altering the N95's user agent in order to make the sites think the N95 is an iPhone.  He did not have total success, the reason why these sites do not support the N95 is because they mostly use an excellent open source library by Joe Hewitt which exposes two bugs in the browser implementation on the N95.  The bugs are in event.preventDefault();  and element.localName.  PreventDefault stops events which are processed in the library from going back to the browser (but does not work on the N95) and localName is used to recognise some elements (which also does not work but tagName does instead). 

Anyway you don't need to worry about either bug because we have worked round them both plus a few other issues with screen size.  You can see the result by putting the following url in your N95 browser (http://ipn95.mippin.com/).  So this version has the horizontal scrolling seen on the iPhone and also does something extra which even most iPhone sites do not do.  It pre-fetches the next page you want to ensure whatever you view next its already in memory and will just slide into place.  The only issue is that on N95's before version 20 it will eventually run out of memory and the browser will crash (returning to the home page often stops this happening), but I'd only really advise using this version if you are using a V20 N95.  It's for these reason that we are not making it available to the general public, but I'd be interested to know what you guys think of it and how its works on N82 for instance.  Once first loaded I'd recommend readers of this blog go to the Tech and/or Mobile section in the catalogue to see the best tech news you've read on your mobile phone from the world's top bloggers (including Darla, Alessandro Pace and Anina - you often read in these blogs).   To try the classic version of mippin just go to http://mippin.com

 

You may be wondering what Mippin is?  Its a new way of viewing Internet content on your mobile - any site with an RSS feed can be viewed. We format it perfectly for each mobile - optimising the content for each browser.  And you'll see from our latest press release its more popular on Nokia phones than any other manufacturers (I am sure that's because of the quality of the screen and browsers on Nokia phones).
