leaked in both these flavours) and earlier this week it was confirmed that it will run on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7 as well. Robert

06.10.2007Windows Mobile browser gets speed boosts
Access has announced a new version of its NetFront web browser for Windows Mobile devices. The "NetFront Browser v3.5 for Windows Mobile Concept
Version" features faster page drawing and scrolling, easier-to-use zooming, better column rendering, and a "PageMap" thumbnail feature, according
to the company.
The freely downloadable NetFront Browser v3.5 for Windows Mobile Concept Version is confusingly named, since the
company already released a
NetFront version 3.5 earlier
this year. That release added widgets, better XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) compatibility, claimed faster performance, and the
capability to scroll up and down pages under the guidance of a device's camera, similating "gesture" control without accelerometer hardware.
For the latest "concept version," Access touts further speed improvements. These include faster first drawing of a page, faster
scrolling in any direction, and quicker rendering mode changes. Rendering mode changes (see below, left) also take place faster, according to the
company.

If you've been testing the final Windows 7 Release Candidate on your own physical platforms, and you wonder what's giving you that feeling that

release and development Windows-based Web browsers, running on exactly the same physical computer with fresh Windows Vista SP2 and Windows 7 RC
partitions, confirmed what our eyes and gut feelings were telling us: On average, most browsers ran 11.9% faster in Windows 7 than on the same machine
running Vista SP2, with most speed gains falling right around that mark.
