not only safari, but nokia s60, and opera mini. so not only did they steal all their “new” technology, they also came in stone dead last! The only innovation i see is flash 9 and i doubt its actually flash 9 (the only truly mobile devices ive seen with that is the nokia tablet series) its probably flash lite 3 which cant play flash videos either, it can only show placeholders, or so I’ve been told.

I agree with AL. the new IE looks like a safari copycat.

It’s shocking to see a technology so advanced that its competitors just muck around trying to catch up. That’s what I see after owning the Ipod Touch for about a month now. The browser experience is excellent and fun. Google Maps is better than on my laptop, same for reading feeds. It’s the only Apple gear I own. Viewing this video is quite an eye-opener.

The fact that what they did show looks the way it is supposed to is enough of an improvement without demonstrating actual usage. The current IE Mobile absolutely sucks and would have mangled those pages to Hell and back.

I’m emailing Mulder & Scully, dammit.

Good point Mike. Come to think of it, they never navigated to any other web sites during the demo either, they just brought out other devices showing other pages. Now I’m starting to wonder if it’s ALL a scam.

Check your eyes. That video wasn’t playing. It was just sitting there, stopped or paused.
