Desktop-class tab browsing coupled with innovative User Interface (UI) developed specifically for iPhone, shifts most common actions to bottom of screen
Sunnyvale, Calif.(Novemeber 18, 2010) Lunascape, the company behind the triple engine browser, is releasing today an iPhone version of its browser called iLunascape Lite for iPhone." The app features desktop-class tab browsing designed specifically for the iPhone, taking into account its portability and small screen area constraints.Up to six multi-tasking tabs can be opened at a time, and it comes with various tab management options.
Tabs and most common actions are located down near the bottom of the screen. Lunascape calls this unique user interface (UI) its InReach Interface. Lunascape also implemented their "thumb slide" feature, allowing users to switch between tabs quickly. It is easy to hide tab and address bars to maximize the available screen size.
iLunascape Lite also features online bookmark sync with Lunascape and Firefox desktop browsers by utilizing Mozillas open-sourced Firefox Sync platform.
The iPhone does not have a strong web browser option. Safari and Opera do not accommodate use of tab browsing; they merely create new pages. Firefox announced that it wont make its browser for the iPhone. Lunascape is the only browser company that provides browsers for PCs and iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. Firefox users who want a solid iPhone solution, you can sync your bookmarks with us and try us out, said Yuki Sekiguchi, COO of Lunascape. With the right browser, the iPhone can be a very powerful browsing device. We wanted to develop a highly functional browser, specifically taylored for handheld devices, but one that still shares a common experience with a desktop browser. We are heading to a comprehensive cross-device solution.
