Wow, I'm surprised to see iCab still chugging along after all these years -- and still in beta. Does anyone know when the first publicly-available version of iCab was released? Garrett Albright 05:08, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

It looks like late 1998 or early 1999. "In 1998 we had the idea to make a good internet web-browser which does what the user wants and needs" (http://www.icab.de/register.html). "Feb 24, 1999: The iCab Company released iCab Preview 1.1 (US) via the Internet sometime yesterday" (http://www.advergence.com/newspage/1999/19990224_icab.shtml). --Gruepig 15:56, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
I've added a note about this in the article -- Adam Nohejl 19:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
It was 1998. I'm wondering if iCab holds a record for being in beta for the longest time, and whether we might be able to make a list of similar software. ProhibitOnions 14:15, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bias?

Is it just me, or is the article a little too happy about iCab? I added some material here a few months ago (the sections about critisism and iCab's OS9 development) and someone has later on added extra suprelatives in my text. And arguments like "(...) reasons for loving iCab (...)" doesn't feel very neutral.

Actually, this article isn't neutral at all. There are downsides to this browser, like every other, and this article is a blatant advertisement. 70.48.97.51 23:33, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. This needs to be made more neutral. --Gruepig 03:56, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
I did my best to make the article more NPOV (despite being iCab fan myself;)). -- Adam Nohejl 19:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
