      [ALPHA] Mimi Browser

      A WebKit browser

      Alfred E. Neumayer


      There has been a lot of chat and discussion across our Forum and TELEport channels about alternatives to our Morph browser over quite a period of time. Well after a a few heavy hints at first and then demonstrations of progress on our Q&As Alfred Neumayers Mimi browser is available from the OpenStore.

      Alfred has stressed, so will we and so does the OpenStore, very clearly
      that this is very much an ALPHA release. Many features are still missing and or not yet working including:

      - Video playback - Pinch-to-zoom - Copy-paste - Camera support - Incognito mode - Missing settings and customization

      That stated so far there have been 347 downloads, we have seen comments on webpages opening that would not on Morph and a general positive response from users across a range of devices. This very positive feed back for the WebKit based browser points towards a positive future ahead for Mimi.

      There is a lot of work and updates to come before Mimi is ready for everyday use but we think it is well worth you taking the time to give this alpha version a try.

      If you would like to support Alfreds work on this app or his many others, or for that matter the work of any of our app developers keep an eye out for the information on the OpenStore page for a link or use the popup that appears when you start to download an app. We are sure it will be appreciated.
