KingSoft To Release a Dual-Core Browser, Promises Three Times Faster Than Chrome

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.

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
