An anonymous reader writes "Ars Technica takes a look at Pogo, a new browser from AT&T, with new features like a 3-D history and bookmark view, amongst other things. The browser's currently in a private beta, luckily Ars got a peek at it, and gives their first impressions on it — which I have to say aren't necessarily glowing — particularly, in the areas where performance is concerned. But, the product's only in beta, so it might be a tad unfair to bash it.


A nice tidbit from TFA is "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. ""

  • Ars has problems building a computer that might as well be 6 years old. My computer is originally 6 years old and exceeds those requirements (Athlon XP1600+, 2 GB RAM, GF7600GTw/512MB).

    Hahahahaha.

    Got to say it, Ars Technica is the worst(most inept) tech site ever (except for every social news site).

  • They tried running a 3D hardware accelerated application inside a VM... in Mac... for a Windows program... inside Parallels.

    That's Inepta Technica for ya.

  • "AT&T creates the most bloated web browser ever"
    Fixed it for ya!
