KingSoft, one of the most famous software companies which developed KingSoft Office (replacement of MS Office), PowerWord (dictionary) and Kingsoft Antivirus etc, is testing its own web browser, named Liebao (meaningCheetah). We are still waiting for the invitation code to test it out. But according to its newly launched official site , this dual-core (built on webkit and IE core) browser is promised to be more safe, better designed (UI designed by Rigo ) and 3 times faster than Chrome. KingSoft is expert on Antivirus technology which is somehow integrated into the core of Liebao Browser. KingSoft called this invention as BIPS (Browser Intrusion Prevention System).

So why KingSof

It seems many phone manufacturers are feeling a lack of love. Everyone is focusing on iPhone this or Android that. Phone manufacturers who once dominated the market are desperate to claw back market share and some much needed consumer affection. Rather than sell based on their great inventory of apps (that are severely lacking), brands are trying to convince consumers based on other features and functions. Recently Ive seen ads from Motorola for their new Droid Razr Maxxx model, which claims to have the longest talk time battery life of any 4G smartphone. Now Nokia is trying the similar strategy with their new Nokia 808 Pureview Model with an awesome camera. But is selling based on such niche features enough? I feel like a total ecosystem of hardware and software is needed to convince sophisticated consumers who know how seamless and useful, iPhone and Android is already. The 808 Pureview will start shipping this month and is the first smartphone to feature Nokias award winning PureVie
