[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
METRO BROWSER

View attachment 781250

After lots of hours of hard work snickler and I are almost ready to release the first beta of our latest app Metro Browser.

Metro Browser works similar as IE10 Metro Browser on Windows 8, but without tabs implemented yet (full screen browsing, swipe down to reveal address bar).

Some of you might wonder why use this Metro Browser if IE9 Mobile is good enough on its own... Now thats where our browser differs from all the others, IE9 is certainly a good browser but it also has its severe limitations.

IE9 can't play FLV videos and not being able to play FLV videos will rule out the use of most of the popular video websites. Since we don't like to have these limitations on our devices, we designed a browser to handle the FLV video playback of those popular websites.

PM if you would like to have another site supported.

This app allows you to seek trough the video as well, so if the connection drops or you have reached your MegaVideo limit, you can skip forwards and backwards without the need to fully download the video and to watch it from the start.

The video class is optimized for mobile phone usages and will not use your isolated storage, and it is limited to prevent out of memory issues. It provides an excellent quality and is optimized for streaming smoothly, both on 3G and on WiFi. The video's can be played free of charge (but it will consume large amounts of 3G data naturally, so be sure you don't exceed your 3G limit or switch to WiFi).
