In the past I always used my Blackberry (Pearl) which was a huge hassle before the mobile site came online. Even with that, the Blackberry has never been that easy to use Neowin on. I just won an iPod touch three weeks ago so I plan on using that more often to visit Neowin while I'm out and about.

Pre listed next to Safari browsers? Is Pre Browser powered by webkit? Also the Pre browser only scores 1/100 on the Acid 3 test so far from standards compliant. I'm not bashing the Pre I'm just pointing out it may need to be coded slightly differently.

It is based on WebKit, and in our tests it rendered the same as the iPhone. Acid3 can be a finicky test - point is, the Palm Pre browser is, for all intensive purposes, the same as the Android and iPhone/iPod touch browsers.

I don't have a Pre myself (iPhone user), but it is my understanding that it definitely uses webkit in one form or another.

I'm always changing my mobile phone and i would like to access Neowin on each device without any limitations. No matter what size of screen the device has it should be able to display Neowin regardless.

At the moment i have a Nokia 5800, which was upgraded from a Nokia 6500s, Nokia N91, XDA Argon, Blackberry Curve 8320 and i'm looking to change to the Nokia N97 in the next few weeks.

Out of those devices not many have a decent size screen but you should be able to view Neowin regardless.

None. I believe sites should be viewed as full and I HATE when a site forces you to view their mobile version without giving a option to view as the full version.

Its seems Neowin will still give that option so thank you :)

You find it much easier to navigate and hell of a lot quicker to load viewing a full HTML page such as Neowin on a mobile device?

Kanye is correct. Currently it's a bitch to browse Neowin in a CLI, so assuming the mobile webpages are going to be as lean and clean as possible, I assume that they are possibly CLIable. And thus, I humbly propose adding the user agents of ELinks, Lynx, w3m into this list of mobile devices.

Well hey, guys, grouping the Palm Pre, Android, and the iPhone together? What do you think is going to get more votes here?

I say Windows Mobile 6.5. I plan on making a Touch Pro2 my next device, and a client like that would be really nice to have. As of now, I'm relying on Opera Mini and Bolt to get my news on the go.

Yes.

I dont know if you made the image but whoever made it misquoted him, made it unfunny and problably killed a future internet meme....

That's all very nice but we won't be supporting every device. It's not as simple as "no matter what size of screen".

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
    • Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
