Yes, I'll need your Windows Live ID. You can PM it to me if you'd rather not leave it in the public thread.
I would like to be a beta tester too if there are some slots free. Thanks
what are the features ?

That is my question, too.
It is based on the IE9 engine, I doubt. So is it just a different way of UI Design or are there any other additional features compared to the IE9 on Windows Phone?
If I like what I hear, I am ready to invest some time in beta-testing your app.
So make us happy with something special.

Next Browser is based on the IE9 core, but it is meant to be a different experience from Internet Explorer. It is fast and can support up to 10 tabs, and has features like pin to start, and is gesture-based to make browsing simple and clean. You can easily switch tabs by swiping left or right, which makes it easier than in IE. There are bookmarks and history, as well as switching default search provider and even changing the look of the tile.
Please post or PM me your Live ID if I don't already have it, and you want to beta test.
Thanks!

Sorry, it's English only. Thanks for asking though.
is it working for anyone? I know it takes some time but im curious. btw im from czech republic that could be it...
It's not even working for me yet. Sorry about that, but there's nothing I can do. I've always had a delay when I added a new beta, but not usually this long. I will post when I can download it though.

Awesome, glad you like it.
I'm actually really close to finishing Next Browser. The current beta is pretty much useless as I've done so many changes that I don't really trust feedback anymore, because I've been using the newer version that doesn't have most of the bugs the beta has. I'm considering a beta 2. Post if you want to vote.
i thing the bigest problem with browsers on windows phone is that no browser can be set as default...
btw i like NextBrowser i think its better than IE.

There seems to be a few floating about, any recommendations?

I tried skybook and mobilizer. neither worked very well. the basics were there but they both have a long way to go. the skybook app always failed to close properly and mobilizer never seemed to open properly.
This is not really an app, but some have suggested using the facebook page for iphone. I believe it is something like iphone.facebook.com or so.
EDIT: Na, I take it back. This certainly won't help you. I just tested the iphone facebook and did not like it. It seems that it uses resolutions for the iphone and everything looks big and blurry on the HD. Besides, that was no really what you were looking for anyway.
Here you go: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=16698519604
If you are going to use Facebook on a PDA, just use "m.facebook.com"... It is a web page obviously, but is formatted better for smaller screens...
Theres one being developed by this very site!

I think you'll have to wait for Tapa Talk to make a Win Mo App.
I've used Opera Mobile and Opera Mini in the past, both have their pro's and cons.

Well sorry guys...
This is just a small app for fun...
When you start the app you see little cats walking around the screen and when you whistle to the cats they turn around and look at you for a moment...
That's all!
I've tried a lot to accomplish the whistle detection through the microphone...
For those who tried to download the app, you will have to tell me the email that is connected to your Zune account so i can add you to the beta testers list and then you will be able to download the app. Else you get an error or something....
PM me your email or reply with it here and i will add you immediately!
Thank you all in advance

I dont think is the radio (because it is only responsible for wireless mobile operator networking functions, wow, that sounded cool) also i dont think the server for markeplace is down... but i have no idea...
Nice little application. My cat must think I'm crazy since I'm whistling at my phone. Both live cat and app cats respond.
There's a clicking noise on the sound and I think the sound is a bit scary, if you had kids entertainment in mind. I expected to see a ghost after hearing the sound, to be honest. Hehe. Nice work though. ;-)

The app is cool, good work, now to show it to a few friends.. Thanks..
Hey Thx! That would be great!
Currently I am building and shortly will be done with my Facebook Metro App for Windows 8 and the idea is to have 2 UI's.
1). Full Screen w/Most Features.
2). Half-Sized w/Basic features so you can use your favorite App's while still accessing your Facebook features, feed and etc.
Question is, what would YOU want added to either UI?
Well u should post some pictures of the program so we can see what it has and hasnt so we can give you opinions When its really upload it and i will test it for sure
After or on Tuesday, I can share the design as I am scheduled with a MS Engineer to help my App have the final touches and tested as well and hopefully first Facebook App in the Store.
Also thanks for responding.

Feature request
Please implement off line messages because the Messaging app won't let you send them
Looking forward to FBMetro! (Suggestion to call it MetroBook instead! )
Do half-sized mean Snapped mode?

Offline messages? As in check for personal messages and grab them and save them for no-connection viewing and respond while offline and when/if connection available automatically send?

Well FBMetro is really just the project name, Facebook already has an App registered as Facebook Metro.
The half-sized mode is in fact the snapped mode... I have included old-SS of which the actual App does not represent anymore as of my meeting with my Microsoft sponsor who wouldn't permit me to go any further with the design, even though I was nowhere near done lol.
Note: Job Discovery is my other App for Win8 and is actually currently a free WP7 App. In the photo you can see that my Facebook App can be used by other Developers to post information from their App using my pre-established Auth to the end-users Facebook Account. Yes, they can actually implement my App to be used by theirs.
nice, where can I get it?
It's coming, very soon!
and here is my idea....
as you may know in our country (iran) we can't access FACE.BOOK...we have to use v.p.n and other pro.xy apps...
it'll be gr8 if you add setting to your app so that we can add pro.xy and these kind of things...(especially pro.xy...)
thanks...

question
hy. I just want to know, when it will be available? could we download it from windows store? I'm a really big METRO UI fan, and I would be happy if I can use facebook in this way.
and of course sorry for my bed english
Cool App!!
I am actually working with someone from Microsoft to get the App Certified, I had to really redo A LOT of the UI as they have made the standards really rough.
Right when it's ready, I will immediately provide the link.
Thanks for your interest!

What makes you think that Microsoft will allow your alternative Store in the Microsoft Store?
Nevertheless, I'm curious how this will go... gl :good:
Sideloading will be enabled in windows 8 enterprise edition and server editions... otherwise yull need a special key to have it enabled. But there are always ways around things ;]

Yeah, because enterprises are really waiting for unsupported 3rd party Stores .
They won't even use the official store
That's too true, I don't know why they'd only put it enterprise. But if its in enterprise expect it to be quickly avaible in atleast the pro version. You know how devs are, everything for free lol, I love it.

Well anyways, im keeping the project on hold until i have more resources, and a developer team or something, the website is down right now, too.
