Downloaded "Minimo" (Mozilla for PocketPC) and tried it out on my Axim.

Well, loaded it. One reset later (what the hell? I haven't had to reset this thing in a month...) I got it running. Slow as frozen whale snot. Thing to remember: Minimo 0.010's install footprint is 12MB. Yes, Twelve Megabytes. True, that's smaller than my Firefox install, but not by much... and most of that's probably because I've got custom skins in the directory.

On to the program: As I said, it's slow enough to overcome even the obstacle that IE for CE currently puts up requiring me to push okay for any interactive content (legal shit). It ignores all standards of operation on a CE environment (the system tray at the bottom for menu/control items, for example), and lacks... you'll love this... a stop button. Oh, there's a red button up there, alright, but it's the reload button saying that it's loading right now, don't press it.

Display-wise, it's a functional browser... but what should I expect? It looks like they just recompiled firefox for CE's runtimes.

I'll repeat here... AIM for handhelds, with all the fancy audio, is one meg. That's the largest program currently loaded on my Axim. I managed to uninstall Minimo, sorta, then to get the last few files... I had to reset again. ~.~

Twice in one night, for a machine that the closest it's gotten to shutting down in the month is standby.

Jeez... they're trying to do way the hell to much on a machine that only the most expensive machines have more than 128 Meg of built-in hard storage, with another 128 of storage/app memory space.

I'll see what happens if they can get the damn installer down to around 500k. 4.9 Meg wasn't a good sign.

[edit] For those who look to me as a reviewer of things like this... I remind you that this is pretty much the third version of it that'll even run. I wasn't expecting something production-worthy yet, I was rather just a little alarmed at just how slow it was running. [/edit]
