Hello everybody,

I'm not sure whether anybody has seen and/or postet this yet...
I received a message from a youtube.com user today pointing me to this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN2RIhviKEY

It shows a webbrowser on the Iliad that seems to be quite full-featured and is apparently developed by www.hficompany.com

I did not watch the whole video yet since I'm not that interested in surfing via WiFi (due to the fact that we don't have many free and open hotspots here in Germany and I've got a computer at home for surfing... ;) ) but I'm sure there will be some who are interested.
I'm not sure however, whether this browser software is free...:blink:

Wow! This looks impressive. I particularly like the screen rotation.

There was an error message at the end that looks like one from Minimo. It's probably a port with a custom interface.

Looks like a bigger, slower, colorless iPhone. But great news for iLiad owners.:tup:

That's a substantial speed improvement as compared with other web browsing on the Iliad, looks great too.

Reading the site faq, it appears that content needs to come
from their server...
