Lab feature in ICS Browser

kidtronic · Nov 27, 2011

I hadn't seen this feature in any of the reviews or unboxing videos until I stumbled upon this one, and I'm not sure why. It incorporates a swipe gesture to quickly change between tabs and navigate the various browser menus, making one handed use simpler and overall browser use more fluid. Check it out.

Nice. I was wondering what that was. In a few videos it would pop up, but no one ever explain what it is.

This feature has been present since 3.0. It doesn't surprise me that it's in 4.0 since ICS is supposed to be the merger of 2.3 and 3.0- it's refreshing to see that this feature is here, and thanks for posting this. I hadn't seen this and it adds to all the things to look forward to!

I noticed how nice the screen is compared to the iphone.

Yes, this has been a Honeycomb feature for a while. It's extremely useful and after using it a lot on my Xoom I find myself sliding my thumb over on Dolphin on my OG Droid by accident. I just hope they've fixed the stability issues present in the Honeycomb browser b/c that thing crashes all the time

That makes sense then. I've never really used a Honeycomb tablet outside of a Verizon store. Glad to see it in ICS though.

Really nice feature. Can't wait to get the GN. Thanks for posting this.

That's really cool, the screen looks great and it looks to be blazing fast
