Lead Mozilla Developer Talks Windows CE

Posted by Zonk on from the tiny-dinosaur dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Lead Developer of the Minimo (Mini Mozilla) project, Doug Turner, has ported Minimo over to the Windows CE platform. He discusses this new version of the lightweight edition of Mozilla in a newsgroup posting." From the post: "Currently, I am building against the Pocket PC 2003 SDK. We may want to adjust this at some point, but I thought it would be acceptable place to start. The binary is 3.8MB compressed not including security. To run the build I have, you need about 5mb of memory to display www.google.com."

  1. 5 megs to display google.com ? by moro_666 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "To run the build I have, you need about 5mb of memory to display www.google.com."

    and can someone remember who was the one who said that 64kb is enough for everything ?

    i remember when i used to play around with an Elektronika computer which was built in USSR, it the same massive 64kb of ram and only a floppy drive ....

    everything that was supposed to work, worked.

    ofcourse .. the www wasn't invented just yet ... not even mentioning windows or any browsers ...

    argh these good old days ...

    anyway ... there must be something wrong both with platform and the browser if the simplest page on the net need 5mb to render itself :(
