WebKit Based Browser: MECCA

This browser developed by Todd Ditchendorf an ex apple engineer. The main interesting spec is the use of the cover flow view to view the links of a web page or to view photos. Is interesting that cover flow is showed like a finder window not as new window like CoolIris.

Here a video demostration of the browser:

Now We Can Make & Receive Call In The Air

Air France has introduced a new service to make and receive calls in the airplane. This service will be operative from 3000 to up and, we can make six calls simultaneously and unlimited sms messaging. I think is an important feature for clients. I hope it will be operative in every air company in the world.

Microsotf Will Introduce A New Mobile Browser

Microsoft will improve the IE Mobile, following the same philosophy that the iPhone Browser, showing the web pages like a desktop browser. I think this is an important way to the mobile browsers, I have talk anytime about the fragmentation of the mobile browsers and the problems for developers to make cross browser pages. What do you think about this topic?

Also Microsoft will improve the navegation system throught menus in the Windows Mobile 6.1 version. The revolutionary iPhone interface will make that every manufacturer improve the OS version of mobile device, and unique winner of this figth is the final user with better products an a lot of alternatives.

Acid3 Safari test

The Safari browser passed the Acide3 test with 95/100. The WebKit team has fixed an exceptions, and now they match the DOM 3 specification.



I think the browsers must to match this specification at the top level, because it will be interesting to develope more web apps. Nowadays if you're developing a Web page you need view correctly in the most browsers and it's very hard try and solve the problems.

And congratulations to the WebKit Team.
