The TouchBrowser from Makayama is a simple, full-page rendering Web browser for Windows Mobile users that surprise, surprise - offers the iPhone-like ability of moving around a Web page simply by dragging the tip of your finger. A simple touch of a button results in a switch between desktop and mobile page layouts, while an enlarged keypad allows you to type freely without a stylus. Some notable drawbacks would be missing tabs as well as Java functionality, but those are minor niggles that could be fixed in a future update (if any). Makayama's TouchBrowser will retail for €11.95 when available. Will this help keep Windows Mobile users loyal, or will they drift towards the iPhone?
