History
The very first ibisBrowser has been developed in June 2005. It was a beta version and was free of charge. The version was made focusing NTT DoCoMo FOMA70Xi and FOMA90Xi Mobile Phone series in Japan. The free offer has been ended along with the release of a light version of ibisBrowser called ibisBrowserLT in the beginning of August, 2005. ibisBrowserLT has less functionality and mainly developed for the FOMA70Xi series that are capable of executing smaller applications. In November 2005, a high-speed and high-performance version of ibisBrowser with rich functionality called ibisBrowserDX is released. Presently, another version of ibisBrowser named ibisBrowserNB is available. This is a test version of ibisBrowserDX that has more functionality but is less stable than ibisBrowserDX.
An international version of the ibisBrowserDX has become available in July 2007 . This is a technology preview version which can be downloaded and used for free of charge with a limitation of browsing at most 5 pages per day. To cope with the current trend, in October 2007, ibisBrowserDX for Windows Mobile Standard edition has been developed. Following that, in November 2007, ibisBrowserDX for Windows Mobile Professional edition has been released. Recently, in January 2008, international versions of ibisBrowserDX for Windows Mobile Professional and Standard editions have become publicly available. These are technology preview versions and can be downloaded for free of charge though, a user is allowed to browse at most 5 pages per day.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“In front of these sinister facts, the first lesson of history is the good of evil. Good is a good doctor, but Bad is sometimes a better.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
