The zoom is rubbish, lets face it, its gimmicky and doesn't work that well if you look at the examples on video so far. What you see happening is the browser window moving around and then zooming, but not to the position orginally intended...

This browser looks awesome, but it lacks the most important feature of a mobile browser - reflowing text on double-tap to zoom. The omission is awful in my eyes, and likely means that this will fail to surpass Opera Mobile 9.7... Definitely a step in the right direction though...

it actually has double tap to zoom, plugins will let you change gestures...

I'm well aware it has double-tap to zoom - thats not the important bit. The important bit is the reflowing of text on double tap, without that the zoom isn't particularly useful I'm afraid.
