Browse Later does exactly what the name implies - it allows you to browse your favorite websites later on, regardless of whether or not you have an internet connection. Download the web sites now, view them later. Browse Later is ideal for iPod Touch users, iPhone users with little/no data connectivity, or iPhone users who just dont want to worry about EDGE/3G availability.


How Browse Later Works

Browse Later uses your iPhone/iPods Wifi/EDGE/3G connection to cache anything from single web pages to near-complete web sites. Set it to download a single page or an entire series of pages linked together. Catch the news. Read your favorite blog. Turn javascript on and download a javascript game (Note - compatibility varies widely for javascript games). Cache a movie embedded in a page and view it later. The options are endless.


Usage Examples

Wake up, have Browse Later start downloading your pages, grab you iPod/iPhone on your way out the door. Check all your favorite sites just as if you were connected to the internet, wherever you are,even if youre disconnected and offline. Catch all the headlines, read all the articles they link to. See whats new on digg, CNN, your favorite blog. Whatever you choose!


UPDATED
===================

- Added option to turn images on/off in caching (turning them off saves lots of download time)
- Fixed swipe delete not working
- Fixed odd behavior/certain performance issues with File Manager
- Updated icon (its prettier! thanks to Brett for input, advice)



Notes/Disclaimers

- Not all sites will work perfectly with Browse Later - some may display a little oddly, others may just return a blank page. For maximum compatibility its recommended you maintain the default settings for a site - keep javascript turned off so it cant redirect you to a nonexistent page (for example), keep embedded objects turned off to limit how much is downloaded. To file a bug report or comment on a pages compatibility go to http://apps.callerdb.com/compatibility

- Memory usage while viewing downloaded pages - after heavy usage of viewing pages downloaded in Browse Later, the application may crash due to running out of memory. This is linked to a memory issue out of my control relating to how web pages are viewed on the iPhone/iPod, and similar things happen while you use Safari. Until a known fix/workaround is available this will happen on occasion.
