First Look: AT&T testing ne... |
Unveiled last week, the Business Development group of AT&T is (privately) beta testing a new 3-D browser that offers a unique visual interface for browsing the Internet. Dubbed Pogo, this new browser is based on the Mozilla code base (the same as FireFox). Not only does this allow AT&T to rely on a stable foundation, but it also ensures that Pogo maintains Web page compatibility equal to other Mozilla-based browsers. As a result, whatever features Firefox 3.0 contains, Pogo will automatically inherit as well.While traditional browsers identify and organize Web pages as text, Pogo identifies and organizes Web pages based on the concept of a “cell,” which displays a visual representation of its contents. Pogo uses cells to display thumbnail images of bookmarks, tabs, and history lists using a graphics engine that creates the 3-D visual interface. |
