Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 2 | HI. I think its awesome that you have decided to develop a new web browser. First off im not a programmer and therefore i might come with some stupid suggestions because i dont really know whats possible. One thing that came to my mind is that PIE seems to transfer the data again when reloading a previously visited page, dont know if this is the case but if it is, it means that when using GPRS it becomes very expensive quickly.At least here in Sweden it is charged by the KB. A better caching system would be nice!! I havent tried Opera but i have heard that it is superior in resizing Webpages to the small screen, something i find PIE not to handle very well. If that is possible to improve, do it!! Ill try to think of more things /Anders |

The banks that are supported are the Barclays Bank, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Egg.com, Cahoot. now at the moment these are only british banks if you can give me the names and website addresses of some american banks or some banks that have internet banking that would be great but i think all the banks have the same format of websites so i am hoping that it will be a kinda one size fits all. __________________ Patrick Jones IT Support / Student PDA’s Palm m105, Ipaq h1930 |

| Registered User Join Date: Oct 2004 Posts: 10 | Thanks Milamber for your great contribution to help easy our tribulations with PIE. I myself would like to suggest landscape browsing and page zooming, so that I can see the layout of the page at one glance. Page zooming could be very nice feature if it deisplays the page at zoom equivalent to 800×600 and then after a preset time it returns to displaying what fits in the screen, of course, the whole time in Landscape. Maybe it is too complicated to implement but it would be a very welcome and original feature indeed. |
