Iris mobile browser still out there in beta-land
Mobile browsers are the hot item on the smartphone front with everyone consuming more web content on them than ever. There are some good browsers out there in various stages of release with Opera Mobile, Skyfire and Mozilla coming to mind. We shouldn’t forget about the Iris browser from TorchMobile which has been in beta for a good while and according to CNET it’s coming along nicely. You’ve got to sign up for the beta to get your hands on Iris but if you have a Windows Mobile phone you might want to take a look. Just for the sake of information sharing, of course.

I’ve tried it on an HTC Wizard and it’s very usable performance wise. Especially on landscape mode using the arrows as a mouse.
Unfortunately stability is another issue. It’s ok in general but when I start using the google apps it starts closing sporadically.
A question: Does Opera Mobile allow the use of arrow keys as a virtual mouse?

I want to like this browser a lot, but it’s dangerously unstable on my Fuze. I visited a grand total of three sites with it. My company site (which renders pretty well under Opera 95 and on the iPhone) froze the entire phone. After a soft reset, I tried again with the same effect. Next I went to Google. I got the iPhone Google homepage, but the links at the top like Reader and Mail didn’t work for me. Next I went to Yahoo. I got some sort of iPhone-esque page offering some Yahoo app. I clicked on a link to go back to the Yahoo home page and it froze the entire phone. My next stop was “Remove Programs”.
Has it been this bad for anyone else?
