Anyone tried the dolphin beta out yet:

http://dolphin-browser.com/2012/06/...e-browser-try-out-our-dolphin-engine-in-beta/

How fast? Dolphin Engine’s HTML-5 Rendering is:

5-10X faster than the default Android browser

100% faster than Chrome (at times)

Scored over a 450 when tested on HTML5test.com. (HTML5test.com is an a respected tool for testing a browser’s support of HTML5)

I'm reporting the developers of that app to the RSPCA.

Where's my coat?

Just tried dolphin beta out there and it is very quick and exceptionally smooth! However, it seems to crash on image/flash intensive pages and the UI is still butt ugly!

And the main killer is that it has that stupid menu button on the bottom of the screen :mad:

So back to quick ics browser

N.O.V.A. 3 with Chainfire3D installed looks amazing, my Galaxy Note struggles to play it smoothly though.

Nope, looks good though.

Airdroid has this as well though (never used it myself though) amongst a lot of other features

In the new Spotify (which is good), how do you change the save location for offline files?

Good question, anyone know? I havent been able to choose, also I can no longer see local files within the player

Log out and and press your menu button at that log in screen. There you can select the location

Swiftkey 3 now out of BETA, if you bought Swiftkey, no need to buy again.

Samsung's SmartStay replicated by ISeeYou Android app, keeps screens on while you're watching.

Swift Key doesn't overwrite itself... how does one copy the settings etc over?

I saw this game the other day but the 1.7gb download would've filled my card at the time. Might give this a look as Ive cleared some stuff.

Just bought Sonic 4, looks cool, retro!

Also found some other cool games, liking this one:

After looking at the reviews, I don't think I will be giving this a try anytime soon

Nice to see that we can get this feature though, just needs a bit more work

Yup - bought Swiftkey X a couple of weeks ago and it's just given me 3 as an upgrade from the Play Store

Wish I'd bought this months ago - really is the best keyboard I've used on Android by a country mile ...
