The browser's intuitive interface allows a user to easily select and instantly receive up-to-the-minute information, news, sports, finance, entertainment, games, music and much more - all with minimal effort and instant results. The browser aims to open up a world of information, particularly valuable for users in areas with limited, unreliable, or expensive internet or WAP technologies.
