Macuco was created by Paulo Cesar for the N800/N810 and was my favorite way of accessing gmail accounts. I decided to port it to the n900 and along the way tried to add some new features and use as many of the unique UI features on the n900.

Macuco can do much more than access your gmail account, it can give you access to many other web sites optimized for the iphone (google, facebook, twitter, cnn, ...). It is not supposed to replace your current web browser but some times you don't want to see the web site on the n900 like you do on your desktop just because you can! Most web sites optimized for the iphone will give you instant (or quicker) access to the real information you are looking for without many distractions.

Some of the features:
  • portrait and landscape modes
  • fullscreen option
  • bookmarks
  • zoom using volume buttons
  • keyboard shortcuts (Ctr+H:Home, Ctrl+B: Bookmarks, Ctr+G: Go to, Ctr+F: Fullscreen)
  • homepage with links to (some) web sites optimized for the the iphone.
  • popup menu - not the best but allows you to reload the page, move back or or forward

This is still a first beta relase but I have been using it on my n900 and it gets the work done. Please let me know of your comments, suggestions for new features, good web sites ...

I used this on N810 and I'm happy to see it moved over and improved. Since hide user agent application breaks ovi store link and you are stuck with it unless you change options this is great. One browser for full sites and one for iphone sites. Would be awsome if you could include some kind of dashboard simular to tear. Another idea would be a list of site or some kind of portal that has lists of sites that works well with this browser.
