Agree. Still getting used to it though, quite a difference from IE8.

True, but it works great. Try dragging a tab out of its place. You can drag it to the edge of the screen, put it on the taskbar, drop it on another window. Much faster than other browsers.

Thumbs up so far. Now I only need to figure out why the u2start icon doesnt load :S (Have that issue under firefox sometimes as well)

Well I'm a IE user fullstop and have to say it is a lot slicker than IE8, faster, more refined. I did use Firefox and have used Chrome but settled with IE8 because it did what I wanted it to do and to be frank wasn't noticeably slower than the others for me. So IE9 is a very welcome update to the series. Can't wait to grab the full release.

I do like that drag out of tab feature, but need to find a way of getting it to open links in a new tab as opposed to a new window *heads to settings*.

Some models use to be able to run Rockbox. A custom media player that can do all kinds of stuff.

Hmm. Hopefully it's available on the new model. It is hideously expensive though

Why not use your phone?

I fancy an iPod touch for game and videos etc. It has to do music though and i'm not converting anything to be compatible. Apple can go fuck in that case. Might just get a new Sansa Clip for music though. Decisions decisions

Phones can do videos and games a lot better than most media players these days. Samsung has phones that can playback 720p mkv files

With Apple you'll have to convert or download in the compatible formats (AAC audio, h264 video in mp4 container etc)
