SpinThought - ThumBrowser for iPad (via Instant Mobilizer)

ThumBrowser™ for the iPad

SpinThought® ThumBrowser™ let's you browse the web on your iPad with only your right or left hand using a unique translucent dot menu customized to fit your thumb's position while you hold the iPad. You can comfortably tap browser commands with just the thumb of one hand! Assign any of several commands to each "command dot".

The transulcent orange dots shown on the left are the "Command Dot" controls used in ThumBrowser.

Command Dots provide total flexibility and let you assign any supported command to any dot.

Place each dot anywhere you like on the iPad screen - ThumBrowser works for the left and right handed.

The Command Dots are unobtrusive and let you view the background page with minimal interference.

ThumBrowser lets you issue browser navigation commands and more just by moving your thumb in a small arc and pressing translucent command dots. You can assign each of the four dots the commands you want for that position.

Command dot locations can be interactively placed at any time - a setting lets you reset the position.

ThumBrowser Command Dot menu can be repositioned just by press-hold-drag.

Supports portrait and landscape positioning of the dots.

One-handed browsing perfect for commutes.

In many situations you need one hand free, whether it's to hang on to a rail during a commute or just to sit around and relax while sipping some coffee.

Double tap any Command Dot to open ThumBrowser Settings at any time.

Any Command Dot can have any of the given commands.

ThumBrowser also lets you assign a "send link to" command to email a link to a preset email address.

You can also build a custom bookmarks popup to navigate to the web site of your choice.

If you have a daily routine of web sites that you visit for news or entertainment, assign command dots to take you there quickly, and with one-hand access!

Why Use ThumBrowser?

We made ThumBrowser because I worked with Tablet PC's, PDA's, Net Books, Net Appliances, and every other portable gadget imaginable in a previous job. I never felt that the form factor for any of those devices was quite right until the iPad. Still I realized there are times (commuting, lying in bed, or just about any time you need a free hand) when it was impractical to use both hands with a tablet. So I envisioned a thumb based menu designed for one-handed use - ThumBrowser! We figured adding it to the web browsing component on the iPad was ideal for reading web sites, surfing, researching, while giving you a free hand. We hope you enjoy using ThumBrowser!
