Hot Browser for Apple iPhone: Another Alternative to Safari on iPhone

Hot Browser is another third party application that claims itself as the best alternative to the Apple iPhone’s default web browser named Safari. The main attraction of the hot Browser is that it is sensitive to the shakes. Whenever the user shakes the iPhone this browser loads a random web page automatically. The basic idea is same as of Sony Eicsson’s walkman phones, like the Sony-Ericsson W910i, in which every time the user shakes the mobile phone the music gets changed randomly.

Hot Browser may sound good and interesting but practically it is of no use. Most of the time the web site that gets loaded in response to the shake is boring and repeats itself a lot. Most of the users have noticed that there are six main websites that gets loaded and out of them two web sites are related to the programme’s author, i.e. Mark Schmatz IT. The remaining web sites are related to Ruby programming language and German language. So if you are thinking of getting YouTube movies, Yahoo, Google, MySpace or something like that then the Hot Browser is ready to disappoint you. Moreover all the basic web browsing tools like forward/backward buttons, history, bookmarks and preferences are absent.

The Hot Browser is more like an experiment with the iPhone rather than an effective alternate to the Safari browser. Alas! One more third party application seems to loose.
