Teashark alpha; a review into the past of the future browser

The teashark beta version was released in late 2007 with the aim of

rendering full web pages as such on mobile devices. It was lauched

as a competition with the famous Opera mini browser.

It is around a size of a mere 120kb and renders full web pages

even in mobile devices with moderate processing capabilities.

But the teashark beta browser crashes very often. It has even challenged the reputation of teashark as a fast and fully fledged mobile browser.

Problems using teashark beta( build 411,419)

• It has intialisation problems,
  
• It crashes to white screen often and a reinstallation is required to solve it which requires another intialisaton,
  
• It doesnt connect properly.
  
• It may work for the first use and crash next time.
  

and many more.....

The quest for the solution points back to the past.
