Free download of a 3D browser if you like the "new stuff" :)

Wow

Looks like someone took the piclens idea and ran the extra mile with it.

Seems a bit gimmicky to me, it doesn't really save time or space.

My list of apparent issues:
So the ebay doesn't show you the most important thing...the price?
The webpages don' fill the page to maximise the screen "real estate"
You have backs to webpages so you have to look at them from one side while cruising your 3D space.
You're loading loads of pages at one every time you search (I'm on 20MBit in Swansea but if I load up 5 webpages at once they take a second or so.

I like that they're doing something new, but I don't think it's really an improvement on something like firefox which is simple and maximises screen use and quick tabs for browsing. Maybe when it's more mature it'll become faster and better than traditional browsing.
