It looks like users will have several browser options to choose from when the Nokia 770 drops.
- The 770 ships with Opera.
- Antonio Gomes at INdT has released Manaos, a port of Minimo to the Maemo platform. He has also posted a few screenshots. This is new and exciting news. See this maemo-developers post for more information.
- GPE-Minibrowser has been ported to Maemo. GPE-Minibrowser looks lightweight but very useful.
- GTK+ WebCore is said to build on the Maemo platform. It sounds like INdT is working on a browser abstraction that would allow a browser to choose between a Geko or KHTML-based rendering.
Since web browsing is one of the core uses of the 770 it’s great to have so many varied options even before the device is available. While I expect the bundled Opera browser to be top notch, I have a lot of respect for both Gecko and KHTML, the little rendering engine that could. It’s really amazing to have so many options.

GTK+ Webcore does work for Maemo. I have packages in my webspace at handhelds.org. (there is a small issue with the gdk-pixbufs but that problem can not be investigated further as I have no N770 yet) Gpe-mini-browser works with gtk-webcore and is used in the latest gpe-snapshots as minimo has troubles building. See http://handhelds.org/~gpe/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=Applications&page=3 for some more screenshots (also Maemo ones)
Well,
At this point, the MiniMo troubles building were solved. Check these out by yourself.
The Diocese of Buffalo’s “Journey of Faith and Grace” has led for the closings of more parishes throughout Western New York.
Excuse, that I interrupt you, but you could not paint little bit more in detail.
