this is adam lane with pocket mount calm and we're going to look at a little tour of the web browsing capabilities on the t-mobile g1 so I go to the browser whoops track bomb a little sensitive sometimes and hearing on the google homepage i'm going to search for something local and that didn't change much so we're just type in what I want so say you get a text message someone asking a question now where are we meeting tonight or what time's the movie start where do we get all that kind stuff on Windows Mobile usually I just do a search for the location and copy the address into a text message to send it right back to them so if I do that on google android we get the address and you can't there's no tap and hold menu you can't select it you can click on it and it brings you a map but there's no way to copy the address into a text message back to that person if you're in a text field you can tap and hold select all that too anyway there is copy and paste capabilities only if you're in a text field press it back here and it doesn't seem to want to go back we also have multiple windows capability was great so I can do a new window and I can get back to google the back button wasn't working over there and I'll go to local again I pan something that seemed to be doing anything fairness now we also have a express our menu button at bookmarks you can save our favorites and we are connected to tmobile 3g which is pretty fast that's good load the New York Times now you see scroll bars over there indicators very thin at the side and bottom so if you touch you can move it and you see mankind glasses up here here after you touch a move so say I moved it right over there and I want to maybe look at that once it goes away you really can't zoom in anymore you have to touch it again and then hitting a link to touch and pan and then it goes back and then you can zoom but I already click on something so it's going to a different age so it's a little bit difficult as I do now still loading if I press menu there's no button presuming so I can't I can't access that zoom capability with the keyboard which is unfortunate you have to actually touch the screen and get grease on it I use the trackball I can scroll two different links for some reason the trackball is much more sensitive in the browser than it is elsewhere the slightest little movement moves it further than you expect if I touch and move again we got icons back there's another one over here that's basically a zoomed out view and you have a little man find box right there if you tap on the madman box you can move it around this doesn't really work very well since my finger covers up the whole magnifying glass box I can't really see what's under there what I'm looking for once you're like oh it was a min okay zooms been pretty good web pages look good it's no double tap and it doesn't fit to the width of the screen automatically sometimes those are met there's also a search bar really quickly you can move ever get the search from google more button now back and forward menu buttons are buried however there are shortcut keys as you can see they're listed and there's writing them that's how we access it from the keyboard look at that just what I was looking for 30 this is much easier with trackball now I can see what it's looking at so there's our web browser on the t-mobile g1
