I just messed with it very briefly on my Droid X (because I don't have the Prime yet) and it seems to work flawlessly. It's very smooth even on that low-power device. I see that there is a minimize button and a close button, but it doesn't have a maximize button that I noticed. I think that would be a nice addition. I'll have to suggest it to the developer after I use it some more and confirm that there's no way to do that.

It expands like resizing a widget, touch the bottom right hand corner.
 
Anyone loan me $1.49? I wish they had a free version. Maybe take out some of the popular features with a free version just so people could check it out first. I hate buying apps that I cannot try out first only to find it doesn't meet my needs or expectations. I know it's only $1.49 but I'm a cheap bastard.

If you return it within 15 minutes, they refund the money. So, give it a quick try and if you don't like it, return it.
 
Well I bought it. It's neat. I did notice pinch to zoom is kind of laggy though. Also where is the import bookmarks if it has it. I went to a favorite site (here) manually and when I pressed add bookmark it brought up a small window in the left corner of the app that had the stock browser and Boat browser icon in it. I pressed one of these and it opened that browser. I started to get frustrated and just quit using it for now.

I agree it needs a full screen/minimize button, wonder if Microsoft has a patent on that.

One thing I've notice over the 1 1/2 I've been using Android is that none of the app (at least the ones I've tried) come with any sort of user manual. Not that I go to user manuals too much but it would be nice if developers would include a short .pdf or something to show users how to use the more popular features.
