A Peek at AT&T's New Browser, Pogo

Posted by Zonk on from the another-way-to-play dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ars Technica takes a look at Pogo, a browser from AT&T with new features like a 3-D history and bookmark view. The browser's currently in a private beta and Ars' comments aren't all necessarily glowing — particularly in the areas where performance is concerned. 'It requires Windows XP SP2 or later or Windows Vista, and its minimum hardware are surprisingly steep: a 1.6GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, and a video card with at least 256MB of VRAM. Seem like a bit much for a web browser? It is, and as we found out, these requirements posed some major challenges for us during our testing.'"

  1. Re:2GB of RAM??? by Sillygates · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So vista takes up a GB of ram on boot, and the AT+T browser takes another 2?
    If I'm not mistaken vista still can only "use" 3GB of it's ram.
    Does anyone else see a problem?
