Application

One of the biggest features of Go is the first widget app, with Nokia N97 and Windows Mobile 6.5 including the Widget,widget feature that will represent a new direction for future mobile internet and mobile phones.

The widgets currently available on Go are "weather forecast" and "today's finance". "Weather forecast" almost covers the major cities nationwide, but the custom city is a single-row choice, let you press the soft, recommended according to the province classification. "Today's finance" can now be customized prev, deep-fingered, HSI, Dow, Shanghai-based, deep-base and gold and other 7 kinds of index, and can be updated in real time, the availability of strong.

The other two apps "today's Headlines" and "wonderful videos" are still being perfected, and it's worth mentioning that the last app is "hot ads", which means that future mobile browsers can monetize their ads through widgets, which is also a new direction for mobile browser monetization.

Summarize

After a trial experience, go makes people feel very gorgeous, innovative, but it is because of this, some flashy, usability is not strong, not people to create long-term use of the desire. In addition, go also has some details to improve, such as power consumption, RSS subscription function and copy and paste. Finally, go server is very unstable, if you can improve the stability of browser access, I believe there will be a better experience. It is reported that go official version of the fastest release on 20th this month.
