It’s becoming common practice to display an application’s QR Code (2-D barcode), or link to it, whenever talking about the app. This page is less useful if apps don’t have QR Codes dilplayed.

In the age of in-phone barcode scanners, leaving out the QR code is tantamount to talking about a website without remembering to link to it.

Please join others in displaying an app’s QR Code when talking about it!

On my G1 there’s no pinch zoom. But it works pretty good. I prefer it to the standard browser. I expect it to become even better looking and much of the features are indeed useful especially preinstalled bookmarks. Its good really good.

An app call xScope on the market has MUCH smoother multi-touch implementation however without any notice. See video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKpC90dvO3k

Dolphin doesn’t show up in the Market for me. Using a myTouch 3G with the latest Cyanogen. The same thing when I scan the QR-Code. Any ideas?

The zoom is laggy + jumpy and the entire page doesn’t seem to zoom together …

It’s a start, but has a long way to go.

I’ve been using it for quite a while and like it for its gestures feature and other features. It’s in rapid development without sacrificing speed. I’ve had no more crashes with dolphin than the default browser in my HTC Magic.

Works great on my Hero w/ pinch and zoom. Very smooth. Tabs are nice. Performance is still about the same as the HTC browser: a bit sluggish.

If you go to their website (http://browser.mgeek.mobi/) you will see lots of grammar errors. My guess is that the developer, and apparently it is an individual, is foreign speaking. I agree it looks unprofessional to have typos, but I say cut the person some slack. The product is actually pretty cool and it is free, so we all benefit.

With such big misspellings in their promo video, it’s hard to take this company seriously.

I love Dolphin. Found it about a week ago and find it faster than the stock browser, very stable, and the pinch/zoom works great. Even better is the gesture support, plus the ability to program in one’s own gestures. Absolutely recommend it.

I’m just trying it out, but I’m really liking it so far.

MUCH better UI than the Droid’s native browser. Multi-touch is great too and the reason I got it, but it’s the other stuff that’s made me the most happy with it so far.

I switched to dolphin from the HTC browser (which already had a better pinch zoom) because of the tabs and because it doesn’t cover the notification bar. I “hide” the tabs, so they are just a thin line at the top, and then pan left/right to switch tabs. Way better than the 3 presses it took to switch windows in the HTC browser, and in the HTC browser, I could never tell if there were other tabs open or not.
