http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=5290Webaroo is a new search and caching service which aims to bring the Internet to mobile devices even when there's no Internet connection. The first public beta of the Webaroo software has launched today (10th April) and so we've had a little play around with it.
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
Great idea but poorly implemented and seriously lacking in functionality.
Well marketed, lovely GUI, easy to use etc, but only being able to cache web pages with links up to a maximum of 1 level down is very very frustrating - bordering on pointless. You really need 2 or 3 levels at the very least, because even if you point it towards the contents page of say The Times, alot of stories will be 2 levels down from the main page. Some web page such as forums simply don't work.
"Offline Commander" and "Offline Explorer" offer exactly that in more sophisticated packages:-
