ZuneHD's Buttons and Web Browser

[BenderTheRobot]

I'm not really used to IE as much as I am to Opera or Firefox, so to me, the version of it doesn't really make a difference. As long as it has a Web browser with flash support, I'm gonna be pretty dang happy.

Wait, why isn't this posted under the ZuneHD's forum!?!?

If anything ide say the chrome would be good

Chrome... by that you mean Google, who have no affiliation with MS whatsoever.


No.

[Mariodjw]

yeah im pretty sure the only browser will be ie based

[Charge]

It will be. Its MS. They wont outsource.

[Mariodjw]

like they did for the 360 parts. look how it turned out

Hmmm interesting...I hope the button on the front has a good feel to it...it doesn't particularly look good in my opinion.

[Mariodjw]

it fits in nicely, at least i think it does

A home button instead of a back button? Why? Are they trying to copy the iPod touch?

I'm sure that's what people might say, but it's functional and works. And I'm sure there are other devices that came before the iPod Touch with similar home screen buttons, but everyone thinks Apple invented everything functional for some reason...

I don't know how functional it is, I've used iPod Touches, and I've used Zunes, and it works for the iPod Touch because of the way they structure the navigation tree, but if they keep the Twist interface intact on the ZuneHD, a back button would work better.

Clearly, nobody in this thread knows jack about what Internet Explorer Mobile 6 is, so here's a quick overview of the features:

* Improved fidelity (support for full fidelity desktop rendering)
* Layout fixes to accommodate a mobile screen (text wrap)
* Enhanced Script and AJAX support (Jscript v5.7 from Internet Explorer 8)
* Improved multimedia experience (Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 for Adobe Flash content)
* Deeper integration with search
* Enhanced cursor navigation model
* Touch and gesture support – pan support
* Multiple zoom levels
* Easy switching between mobile / desktop versions of sites by specifying UA strings.

Basically, an advanced multitouch browser made specifically for mobile devices. Internet Explorer Mobile 6 is based on code from the desktop browser, Internet Explorer 4, but with advanced features such as those that are seen in IE 8.

Hmmm, yea... Hopefully its not one of those buttons that make a freaking loud sounds when you click it!

"Hey ***Click*** Wats up! Look, all the songs I have one my ***Click*** Zune HD!!! Its way better than the i***Click***"

lol That would suck!

But... it looks perfect on the Zune ***Click*** HD...
