			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/pogologo.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignleft alignnone size-full wp-image-1055" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="pogologo" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/pogologo.gif" alt="" width="177" height="172" /></a>We all have watched sci-fi movies and know how flamboyant the computer screen looks in those movies. How about bringing it to your desktop. AT&amp;T is all set to do that by launching a web browser which is called as <a href="http://www.pogobrowser.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Pogo</strong></a>. Still in beta testing phase, the browser is available on invitation basis or by <a href="http://www.pogobrowser.com/beta.php?destination=/" target="_blank">signing up</a> for the Pogo Mailing List. I was fortunate enough to read the news around 45 days back and received my invitation a couple of days back. So, please be patient to receive the invitation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the terminology goes, the browser is hyper-visual and hence (understandably) high on resources. Based on the Mozilla engine and backed by the technology of <a href="http://vizible.com" target="_blank">vizible</a>, pogo promises to be the browser for the next generation. Let&#8217;s first see, how heavy is <strong>pogo </strong>on the resources. I have opened three cells (equivalent to the tabs in Firefox) in pogo which are static pages and pogo is almost using 170 MB of RAM. Following is a snapshot of my task manager.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1043"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/taskmanager.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1053 aligncenter" title="taskmanager" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/taskmanager.gif" alt="" width="412" height="457" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Following are the system requirements for <strong>pogo</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/pogorequirements.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1054 aligncenter" title="pogorequirements" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/pogorequirements.gif" alt="" width="500" height="170" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let&#8217;s take a look at the features pogo flaunts about. But before that let me give you a screen shot of the much anticipated browser. (I have marked the important areas with the red arrows).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/pogoblankscreen.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1060" title="pogoblankscreen" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/pogoblankscreen.gif" alt="" width="500" height="303" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/historyplayerlogo.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignright alignnone size-full wp-image-1062" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="historyplayerlogo" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/historyplayerlogo.gif" alt="" width="323" height="95" /></a><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>1. Pogo&#8217;s History Player</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">Pogo&#8217;s history feature is more or less like a player and it visually shows you your history. The following snapshot will give you a feel of this feature.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/historyplayer.png" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1065" title="historyplayer" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/historyplayer.png" alt="" width="500" height="246" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>2. Pogo&#8217;s Bookmarking</strong></span><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/bookmarkinglogo.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignright alignnone size-full wp-image-1063" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: right;" title="bookmarkinglogo" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/bookmarkinglogo.gif" alt="" width="324" height="93" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">The bookmarks also are also quite graphic and can be played with visual effect. You can also create a collection of your bookmarks which is similar to categorizing them into a particular categories or folders in Firefox.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/bookmarking.png" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1066" title="bookmarking" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/bookmarking.png" alt="" width="500" height="252" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>3. Pogo&#8217;s Springboard</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/springboardlogo.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignright alignnone size-full wp-image-1067" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: right;" title="springboardlogo" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/springboardlogo.gif" alt="" width="369" height="90" /></a>The most exciting feature of pogo as a browser is introduction of something very unique called as <strong>springboard</strong>. I know many would argue that it&#8217;s the same feature as  the speed dial feature in Opera, but springboard is a different thing all together. You can do so much more with the springboard than you could with the speed dial.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/springboard.png" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1068" title="springboard" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/springboard.png" alt="" width="500" height="314" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>4. Pogo&#8217;s Fabulous Find</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/fabulousfindlogo.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignright alignnone size-full wp-image-1069" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: right;" title="fabulousfindlogo" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/fabulousfindlogo.gif" alt="" width="326" height="94" /></a>The fabulous find is an amazing feature and probably the most unique feature that separates pogo from other browser. What it does is that it finds for a particular search keyword across your bookmark, collection, search history and history.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/fabulousfind.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1070 aligncenter" title="fabulousfind" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/fabulousfind.gif" alt="" width="262" height="391" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>5. Pogo&#8217;s Dock Feature</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/docklogo.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignright alignnone size-full wp-image-1071" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="docklogo" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/docklogo.gif" alt="" width="322" height="89" /></a>Pogo has named it&#8217;s tab-bar as dock and the tabs as cells. They actually fit to the description and would not have sounded good if they were to be called as tab-bar and tabs. The dock is also quite graphical.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/dock.png" rel="shadowbox[post-1043];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1072 aligncenter" title="dock" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/dock.png" alt="" width="500" height="26" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have tried to cover almost all the features of <strong>Pogo</strong>. However, there&#8217;s more to it than meets the eye at the first glance. Also, you can might also be interested in checking out the official <a href="http://www.pogobrowser.com/demo.html" target="_blank">demo</a> of the browser. I suggest that you can try the browser on a considerably advanced machine. It&#8217;s free of cost to worth a try. But as it&#8217;s said it&#8217;s a great idea to backup your stuff before testing the beta versions.</p>
