Windows Mobile smartphone users, suffer iPhone envy no more: Makayama’s TouchBrowser brings finger-operated Web browsing to your device.

As you can see in the above video, TouchBrowser effectively duplicates the iPhone browsing experience on Windows Mobile handsets (touchscreen models only, natch). Well, partially: You don’t get multi-touch zooming like on the iPhone, and the onscreen keyboard fills almost the entire screen.

Alas, there’s no trial version, so you’ll have to watch the video and see for yourself if you think this browser is worth the $14.95 price tag. Hey, anything’s better than Pocket Internet Explorer, right? [via Gizmodo]
