GLOBAL – As the launch of the Nokia N900 draws closer, and appetites grow heartier, we’ve managed to track down a brand-new video that goes in-depth on the N900 web browser and highlights a few neat tricks.
Broken into two easy-to-swallow chunks, the first half of the video sees Mikko Korpelainen, a Senior Product Manager at Nokia, give you a rigorous close-up look at the core features that make the N900 the best pocket device for browsing the web. The second act sees Martin Shüle, Principle Designer in the User Interface design team, show you some smart tricks and gesture touch controls that help make exploring the web even easier on N900.

GLOBAL – Wait, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First things first. Last week we tasked you with voting for what you reckon is the most important feature in a web browsing device – a subject that sparked heaps of interest, so thanks to all 461 of you that voted. Plus, many of you keenly contributed to a stack of great comments on topic (one reader even winning our coveted comment of the week award last week).
Now without further ado or any more teasers, read on to find out the results of our latest poll.
GLOBAL – Following on in our series of what you think the key features of certain devices should be, this week we’re looking at phones for browsing the web on the go. Browsing on the move is something I for one pretty much take for granted these days. It’s something I expect my mobile device to do, and do well. However I’ve never stopped to think what aspect of a mobile device is most important to mobile browsing. Of course, much like last week, “all of the above” is sure to be a popular answer, though it doesn’t really help highlight what is the most important (and note the difference between this and last week’s poll of “most important” versus “what do you expect”). I’m looking forward to the results and of course we’ll be doing our best to follow up with the folks in the know. Now, get voting (and commenting too, if this one tickles you).
LONDON, England – The Internet browser wars have been escalating of late, with Google’s Chrome mixing it up with Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer on the desktop front. But things are becoming just as heated when it comes to the mobile Internet, with Mozilla and Opera releasing new browsers not just in the same week, but on the same day.
GLOBAL -Even though I never really had a clue what it meant, I’ve always been (as have Mike and Charlie) excited by the concept of The Internet of Things. See, mobile browsing isn’t a brilliant experience. Sure, snapping quick tugs of information is fine, but nobody’s going to spend their day surfing on a small screen. I have no desire to try, and I doubt many others do either. But that’s not all the Internet is good for.
