New Technical Preview Version of NetFront Browser unitl January 31st

ACCESS CO., a Japanese company famous for their mobile browsers have released a technical preview of version 3.4 of the NetFront browser. A couple of interesting sounding features from the press release:

"The technical preview version also includes a new, improved Page Pilot™ feature, which allows users to quickly zoom in on any area of a Web page. Also featured is Visual Bookmark an advanced technology that allows users to easily select a bookmark through a thumbnail image."

The Page Pilot feature looks nice really nice. I've used similar features in RepliGo and other mobile browsers and it can can really make a big improvement when reading full sized pages on a small screen.

The preview version expires on January 31. Not much time to try it!
