hey guys its brand am in a min from pocketnow.com and we're really excited to show you Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 7 series we're looking at this through the emulator which doesn't work perfectly it's not fully done obviously a lot of tiles are missing from the start screen but hopefully in future videos we'll be able to give you a deeper look at Windows Phone 7 series so let's take a look at the Internet Explorer browsing experience so here we are in a typical windows phone 7 series window along the bottom we have the application bar and we have the most commonly used shortcuts down there so there are three here add favorites favorite menu and this one will show you you're currently open tabs or you can tap on these three dots to sort of get an extension of the of these shortcuts that you can have to get to settings we're going to go through all this in a second but first let's go to a web page so you tap on the top and we can do google com or I could have used the keyboard on my computer but for the sink it safe sake of keeping this real let's do it through the on-screen keyboard so here we are google com it came up very fast let's open up a new tab this time let's go to say amazoncom very very fast performance of course as an emulator this isn't necessarily what you'll experience if you have a windows phone 7 series device let's move around the page and see what that is like you can't do multi-touch obviously although if you had a touchscreen monitor with multi-touch capability you could actually pinch to zoom right now so instead I'm just going to double tap to zoom in extremely fast zooming very very nice web browsing experience let's just click on something here let's click on the Kindle page and see how long that takes to load okay so here we are on the Kindle page we can flick down you can kind of see the kinetic scrolling is extremely smooth let's open up one more tab let's go this time to say let's go to engadget okay great now a few things that you can do from here and let's go back to our tab view and let's go to Google we can add this as a shortcut to our home screen by tapping these three dots here and click pin to start and now we're taking back to the start page and there is a shortcut to Google let's add another ones we ran go back into internet explorer it takes us back to the previous state that we left internet explorer in so a little bit of multitasking there and let's go to Amazon and put a quick link to Amazon here and let's finally do it for engadget too because I want to show you something else that you can do through this demonstration so let's go back to the the multi-vue here and looks like that's going to have to reload but I'm gonna do pin to start so now we have three new tiles on our start page we can obviously rearrange this these things and this is how you tap and hold and when you tap and hold the one that you're tapping and holding comes forward and you get a little broken heart icon if you click on that it will take away the tile or you can slide them around to rearrange them to your heart's content or of course you can close them so let's go back inside and see what else we can do let's go to back to amazon very fast way of switching between different different websites so it's very nice we can click the add to favorite button here and then you kind of get a zoom like interface I'm going to click OK and add it to my favorites then I want to go to the center button here which shows me all of my favorites and you get the very zoom like Metro interfaces they call it so I can quickly jump to a website I can pan to the right to see history pan to the right again and I'm back in favorite so let's go to one of these favorites go to MSNBC and then we are brought to MSNBC mobile and I'm going to stop that from loading the stop button is up here and the so is refresh now there's some other things down here that you may have seen some of these don't work so if I go to settings nothing happens if i go to share nothing happens find on page i haven't tried yet looks like it does work so if i type a phrase or a word that exists on the page presumably it will find it yep there it is i typed images and it went right to it so so far so good it looks like Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 7 series is going to be a winner it's fast it's easy to use it looks and it feels like the zune HD interface which were a fan of because the zune HD is a really nice-looking way to interact with the device so be sure to check us out on pocketnow.com for the latest in Windows Phone 7 series videos and news that's it for now
