images/news/apple.jpgAPPLE HAS ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC BETA OF SAFARI 4 which it says is "the fastest and most innovative browser available for Mac and Windows PCs," claims which remain to be proven as yet.
What is apparent from the get go, however, is that Apple has pulled out all of the stops to make Safari look gorgeous. Many lessons have been learned from the way in which Itunes and OSX display files and folder, and you can now display your Top Sites in a faux-3D amphitheatre of webby wondrousness.
We've only had a brief play with Apple's latest browser, and on the surface everything seems to run quickly and without problems. Demanding sites like the BBC's Iplayer work flawlessly, and additional interface tweaks like tabs which pop out of the top of the main window rather than stealing little bits of your viewable screen seem so obvious once someone else thinks of them. But with built-in support for CSS 3 and HTML 5, Safari looks like it may well have stepped ahead of the game.
And if looks are anything to go by, Internet Exploder, Firefox and the rest of the browser crowd had better shape up sharpish.
