AdamB's initial post to this thread started with a desire for a "good, working, web browser on the iLiad". I fully agree, but, although I applaud all the hard work that has gone into them, my conclusion so far is that none of the existing iLiad web browsers are good enough for routine use.
For some reason I ended up on a
GPE webpage today. It mentions
image viewing and
web browsing components I was not aware of. This browser was not on the list of WebKit/GTK+ apps for the very good reason that it is using the older GtkWebcore libraries instead. On the other hand, it was definitely designed for handheld devices. Does anyone have experience with this browser on a Linux handheld? The image viewer (and file manager) might also be worth porting to the iLiad.
Not being a developer, all I can do is nag from the sidelines. The Kindle's very basic web browser has opened my eyes to what the iLiad should be capable of. It ignores most style sheets (even in "advanced" mode), but it displays simple web sites well and has bookmarks. It is also possible that what I am looking for is achievable with one of the existing browsers and an appropriate web portal. Any suggestions?
