Android Uses WebKit
My guess was wrong.
I somehow thought Google will partner with Firefox as a defaul browser for their new mobile project (now “Android”), however, Google’s choice was WebKit, accordeing to their SDK. Actually now I think this is a wise choice, since many (mobile) web devs are familiar with developing with WebKit thanks to Apple to make iPhone popular. And needless to say, WebKit for mobile including Nokia N-series is the one of the beat browser around.Anyway, as the storonger-than-ever WebKit is gaining even more power, “Sarfin’ Safari” (Webkit.org’s blog) has announced new features for Safari 3:
- Enhanced Rich Text Editing
- Faster JavaScript and DOM
- Faster Page Loading
- SVG
- XPath
- New and Improved XML Technologies
- Styleable Form Controls
- Advanced CSS Styling
- Reduced Memory Use
- Web Developer Tools
