Blog - Scope browser for i-mode
Scope browser for i-mode
Finally a decent browser for DoCoMo i-mode phones!
Programmers' Factory's new Scope browser runs as an i-mode application and displays regular Web sites on the mobile phone's small screen, similarly to Opera for Mobile (which doesn't work on DoCoMo phones).
Features include:
- intelligent table cut-up (sample)
- data caching (no packet waste)
- SSL support *
- partial JavaScript and CSS support *
* Not included in current public preview release.
Currently supported models:
- NTT DoCoMo 505i/505iS series
- NTT DoCoMo 506i series
- NTT DoCoMo FOMA 900i series
- (Planned support for 504i/504iS, FOMA 2102V/N2701/2051 series.)
I've downloaded it and played a bit, and it looks very good, though the touch is a bit slow. Per-page scrolling is possible but not intuitive (numbers 2 and 5 for full page, 3 and 6 for half-page). Nevertheless, it's very welcome, and it's free!

Thanks for the tip, this is cooool. Unfortunately, they've stopped downloads until next week so I couldn't try it!

That sucks. I hope it's not my fault, I had signaled them a minor crash bug. :)
Btw, nice blog! (and its name too!)

Patrick, thanks for visiting my blog. I've gotten a lot of good ideas from your site keep up the good work. Also, I like that Firefox banner on your top page. Mind if I do the same?

Go ahead, that's what it's for. :) There's also more at http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates/homepage
By the way that banner on my top page is only shown to IE browsers I believe. Here's the PHP bit that does that.
if (strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"],"MSIE") !== false) {
?><a href="http://www.getfirefox.com/" target="_blank"><img src="/im/firefox_takebacktheweb.gif" alt="Take back the web" width="120" height="60" border="0" /></a><?
}
