This browser is painfully slow. It loses memory or takes up too much, as there is often an “out of memory” or “exceeds memory” message when attempting to access certain websites. This may just not be this browser’s time to be in the news. It’s not really worthy of print. If Opera Mobile can render the Facebook, this software should also be able to. Nevertheless, there is one thing that will forever cripple this browser: It is not a self-sufficient browser. It piggybacks Internet Explorer Mobile for a lot of the heavy lifting. WebKit is for the rendering, but that only does its part based on how well it’s programmed. People expecting an iPhone-like browsing experience should purchase an iPhone. Iris is not Safari. Iris sucks. Safari just works.
