Picsel browser

Hey all!
I love my Vario III,...just wondering if any of you were using Picsel browser?
It's awesome,...the only problem is that it doesn't interpret javascript
Anyone know of a similair browser that supports javascript?
Regards

Where did you obtain the picsel browser from? I always wanted to test the functionality but could never find a download. Looks like an OEM only product.
My Vario III arrives tomorrow

i absolutly love picsel, (other than the lack of java and sketchy flash support) its the easiest browser to use IMO... too bad they never released it comercially... they could make some serious money off it

Give me your email I'll send you the cab file

piscal browser
hi my friend please email cab to
[email protected]

The version that i have installed is not working on my TyTN II
I'm getting the error:
Initialisation failur....in think this is German.

the version i have installed is simply entitled "Picsel Browser.cab" and was found on torrent tracker that canadians can't use.
it isn't very useful to me, but it is a novel idea of a browser.

quite a browser indeed, reminds me of the Safari browser on the iPhone. 320x240 doesn't quite cut it though for browsing, must look better on a VGA device.
Odd that you can't go full screen, or I missed a setting ?

deepfish from Microsoft is alos very nice (very similar to Picsel browser).

got a link ?

Thunderhawk is in the same vein as picsel browser, and works a little better. Basically, it renders the page on their servers, and then sends the page to your device. It is very fast and looks by far the most like pages rendered on a PC.
However, it is quite expensive, requiring a monthly fee to use the software. But there is a free trial to see if you like it.

Does anybody got a deepfish cab? " At this time we are no longer accepting registrations for the current technology preview."

deepfish
that would be great, i've been wanting to try out deepfish for a while now. that zoom feature would come in real handy for qvga screens.

Along with the cab, you will need the (per person issued (iirc)) beta activation code to make it work. Given that it is using a server to house the data and format it for you ... you would need that code or the server would deny you access.

jesus, what's with all the security?

Here's the installation file for picsel browser. This one needs to be installed to the device main memory. I have the file that can be installed to the storage card, but for some reason the upload keeps failing.

Google is your friend..
Go to the Dataviz web site, they have 'Docs to go' for the G1.
"...a limited-time introductory price of $19.99 (regularly $29.99.) "
Quick office also have "Quick office for Android"
"...$20.00"
Both are available from the Marketplace your G1.
Sorry no freeware....

You can't edit in Quick Office!

I remember when I had my BlackBerry and upgraded to the 4.5 OS, Docs to Go was included free as part of the OS applications.

Then a process of elimination leaves you with Docs To Go.

Has anybody tried it? Bit of a challenge to buy it since paid apps aren't available in Canada, so before I go to the trouble, does DTG support any real document formats, like ODT, or is it strictly limited to microcrap?

I bought it. No, at this time, it is not as good as the Palm or other version, but it works. I use it to read and edit my MS Word documents. I also used it to open a Excel document, but that really doesn't matter to me too much.
Just for you, I tried, it said it cannot open because it is not a valid MS Word 97-2008a.

Thanks for checking. Guess they won't be getting any money from me.

You know they will end up making google docs. One day.

Or you can use Shead Spreet app....I think it will read in excel data.

I agree... they need a mobile version BADLY!!!! The funny thing is, I believe Google docs. works with Windows Mobile and not Android. That is more of a browser thing but still. Its just plain stupid!!! And why does the Sapphire have a pdf viewer and the G1 doesn't?! It's about time for another RC update so JF can return to do work his magic.

I been thinking about getting that one. How well does it handle larger files (lets say ones larger than 1-2 MB?)

Google docs is pointless since it depends on a network connection. It also puts potentially security sensitive information out of your personal control (which is almost always against the rules when dealing with other people's data).

I believe they would need to make a offline Google docs app, kind of like the offline gmail app they built.

GDocs now on the marketplace. Not made by google, but looks like it has on and offline support. I am downloading it now. oh and its free.

Well tested it out, and does not work well at all, but it in early beta I think it said .21 So it has time, But at least someone is working on it.

just updated and works a bit better, It will not pull down info from the web, and update info from g1. But will not update data back down to g1. only way to is to delete doc off the phone and re download it.

I have docs to go, and it isn't even really noticeably slower opening 2+MB files. It handles them just fine. I even threw a 7MB doc file with embedded images at it, no problem.

I just had a look at that and it has a *very very* long way to go. Its basically worthless and I don't expect it to go anywhere near far enough to actually be useful. I suspect that it was whipped together in about a half hour. All it is is a text editor, it downloads the TEXT from your google doc and stores it in an sqlite3 database file. No formatting or anything. It doesn't even save the odt file to local. I seriously doubt that the author has the skills to develop a full word processor.

EdIting excel word and other q's

Can't use the search with an itouch.
Long time wm user of ten years trying to jump to android.
Is there a native app to edit excel or word on the n1?
Is there an rdp client? There must be vnc if not. VPN IPSec or other?
Any apps out there to map and browse ms network drives?

Googledocs or "Documents to Go" (chargeable).
Cheers!

No but there ought to be. I use gdocs which is decent and free. And I have documents to go which only views docs but I purchased the second docs to go app to unlock document editing which ive had a favorable experience with. As far as I know those are the two options for editing documents...I think docs to go (editing version) was $20 when I bought it but may be cheaper now. I've used it maybe 5 times to edit docs and its worth it to me.
Also I've even edited docs remotely on my laptop and my desktop with phonemypc ($10 I think), one of my absolute favorite apps and I'm pretty picky about what apps I keep....

[Q] Few questions before buying an HD7

I'm really thinking of buying an HD7, but im stuck in between a dell streak.
Im using it to replace my cruddy netbook so i'll be luggin a bluetooth keyboard around.
The dell streak can connect with a bluetooth keyboard but can an HD7 do that? cuz it will otherwise be perfect for word processing with the kickstand and office.

You pose a good question but at this early stage it's like comparing apples to oranges. The HD7 right now is just a phone, literally. The Dell streak is really a tablet and full featured.
There are a million threads all over the forum about pro's and con's of the HD7. I would suggest glancing through those threads to see if any of the attributes apply to you.

How about you wait for gingerbread tablets coming out next year or maybe a honeycomb one t0o

You should also check how easy it will be to get the Word document on/off the phone. From what I read the document has to be upload to your Skydrive account first. And the mobile Skydrive page loaded in IE, not the Office hub, from where the Word document is opened. And, I may be wrong, any edits are NOT saved back to Skydrive. I'm sure I read this but hope I'm wrong.
I'm guessing editing documents will be a lot easier on Android as you'll have direct / easier access to your Google Docs.

[Q] Can someone test this AppCache website out in IE?

I have a website that uses AppCache and I would like to know if the IE engine in Windows Phone 8/8.1 supports AppCache/Local Storage/IndexedDB.
It's more of a scripting IDE than a web page and if it works correctly it will store about 5 megs of web files into an AppCache so it could work offline. You would probably need to delete/clean internet files if you want to get rid of that.
The web page is at :
http://www.obeliskos.com/TridentSandbox
At the top left (if it works correctly) you will see status for LS (local storage), IDB (indexedDB), and AC (AppCache) ... the appcache should show downloading and then idle.
Can someone test and let me know what the status information of LS/IDB/AC are.... or if you use it, how well it works? There's a samples browser button (second from right under help) if it lets you load all the samples.
Thanks

LS/IDB/AC all work great! WP8, IE10. Haven't had a chance to really play with it yet, but you will probably want to make it more mobile-friendly. We don't have meta-keys on the phone.

hah, your all over this forum and once again with good info, thanks!
Yea I was thinking of using it just as a viewer to run prg files created on tablet/desktop and saved to skydrive. I think xbox one IE also fully supports and that has skydrive and possibly keyboard/mouse as well. I guess it might be good cross-platform for simple user programs.
Looks like I have a reason to upgrade my phone sometime soon now
