Bundyo has ported over the WebKitGtk browser Midori over to the Maemo platform. I’d say there’s still a bit of work to be done on the port but so far it looks pretty functional. If I remember correctly the WebKit framework is used on the Nokia s60 browser and also Safari the Mac browser.

Changes

* Hildonized.
* Moved the progress bar from statusbar to the main toolbar.
* Mapped stop/reload to Escape.
* Fullscreen button always visible (since i didn’t succeed in mapping it to the hardware fullscreen button).

Issues

* Some backgrounds are not rendered.
* SVG support disabled - tell me if you need it.

You need to download and install the following to get Midori working on your Internet Tablet:

http://bundyo.org/maemo/midori/midori_0.17-1_armel.deb

Download it and give it a shot, let Bundyo know how you go with Midori!
