Every Mobile Browser Should Give Up and Just Go WebKit

The ZuneHD looks like a lovely catchup to the original iPod touch—you know, before apps allowed it to be so much more—except for one thing. That damn browser. It’s not just they’re basing it off hellacious and reviled IE—it’s that it’s not WebKit-based.

    i agree that having one base platform for apps is cool and is what has always been cool about browser apps, but i don’t think the solution is to have just one browser! the solution is for other browser devs to actually follow the god damn standards! i think proper companies should try and develop their own software, competition is good, and i hate it when companies take some open source thing, re-skin it and then take all the credit claiming it as there own (like OSX, but also others, chrome for instance, but they not only publish what their browser is based off of, they use it as a selling point!)
