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.

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".

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
