TeaShark – New Mobile Browser

Russell Beattie just spotted a new mobile browser called TeaShark. The site was down when I tried to visit it, so I wasn’t able to discover the features of this browser, or know more about people behind this new project.

According to Russell, TeaShark is a Java application based on WebKit. Russel posted a link to a YouTube video of this new browser and it does look impressive.

TeaShark seems to allow to view web pages from a mobile the same way than from a desktop browser.

TeaShark reminds me of Microsoft’s Deepfish, which also has a zoom-able interface.

I Was About to Buy a Wi-Fi Phone and a New MP3 Player…

…but Apple just came up with their new Ipod touch. Good job, Steve, you’ve finally convinced me to buy an Ipod.

I was indeed looking to get a Wi-Fi capable cell phone to allow me to check my emails, read feeds, or check out Digg while on the go but without ruining myself with huge data costs. Plus, I live in Paris and there are more and more Wi-Fi spots here.

It was also the time for me to get a new MP3 player, since my old but cool 512MB Samsung YP-T7 Player (I love the fact that it’s so tiny!) can’t hold lots of albums.

Since the Ipod touch is Wi-Fi capable and has a 8GB or 16GB storage capability (which is more than enough for me), and is priced at $299 and $399, well, this gorgeous thing will be perfect for me.

I’ve also noted in the online presentation that the Ipod touch has a shortcut to Google. With this kind of partnership, Google has just won millions of wireless users of their search engine.
