Up comming option for Web Browser on Palm – Universe 3



A new Open Sourced browser is on the way.

Universe 3, base on their previous development WAP Browser, WAPUniverse, stated on their website it will pack with features that we dream of on our Palm, like Tab browsing, RSS reading etc..

Too bad developer already stated that they have enough beta tester, can’t wait to put hands on it….lets look forward for its release.

Quote from the site:
Features including…
A Tabbed interface (supporting up to 3 tabs)
An address bar featuring a url box and navigation buttons
An Integrated RSS reader
Private browsing (mask the history, cache and cookies)
Support for JPEG, GIF, BMP and PNG (with alpha channels) images
Support for HTML/XHTML/WML/RSS 1.0/2.0
Support for WAP 1.0/2.0
Support for Hires and Hires+ screen sizes
No need for the Java VM!
Much more.


Planned Features Include…
Advanced 5-Way scrolling (based off of the Nokia S60 Browser)
Removing the 3 tab limit JavaScript support (using Apple’s JavaScriptCore)
gzip Compression for a faster browsing experience
Opening and saving files to the local file system
And more

Stated in the site, Screenshot simulated. There is no affiliation between the Universe browser and ACCESS.
