The Register is running an article that claims that the MS Research group has created a secure browsers, that is better than current versions of IE and Chrome. The down side as reported, is that the browser - a.k.a Gazelle - is slower and requires more resources than its cousins.

My {take}

The {news}

Gizmodo has a video of the new Windows Mobile 6.5 running on a HTC Touch Diamond 2 phone. Very response, very pretty - and it runs flash!

My {take}

Did I mention that it runs flash?! There are quite a few cool features, but it’s no iPhone - no pinch zoom for instance. But it has flash!!!
