WebMate is the new third party web browser for Apple iPhone that is available for $0.99 at the App Store. The best part of this mobile browser is the ability to support tabs. This means that when you click on a hyperlink the WebMate does not reload the existing web page, instead it open opens the linked content in another window and the user can easily shift between different windows via a counter displayed at the bottom of the screen.

The user interface is good and easy to operate. If you want to close any window then simply use the little trash icon at the bottom of the screen. If you usually click on loads of links while browsing or a hardcore fan of Mozilla Firefox then this one is for you. One of the greatest strengths of the iPhone, as compared to other internet surfing capable phones, like the HTC Touch HD, is the selection of web browsers that the user is offered. Instead of being relegated to one single browser, the iPhone gives users the ability to choose their favourite, just like with a regular computer.

Of course, using WebMate, instead of the default Safari on iPhone, does have its flaws. One of these is that it does not saves the content of the opened tab. This means that whenever you switch from one window to other the whole web page will be reloaded again. This ultimately slows down web browsing and sometime frustrates the user if he is in hurry. Another issue with WebMate is that it do not offer core features like bookmarks, auto complete, and history.
