Redefining the browser, or it's the end of the world as we know it

This was a pre-release announcement. You'll find the finished application here.







Swingin' Google combines the best of Swing user interface elements constructed with Sun's latest JDK 1.4 to bring you a significantly improved google search experience. We've been talking about the end of the browser for years but this is the future now. Here's a screenshot of a pre-release prototype running on Windows XP. All of the features aren't there yet, but the basic interface is usable. We've taken the google SOAP API and wired it to the tabbed pane at the top of the main window. You specify search criteria and click search. The agent creates and populates a separate tabbed list view for each search result set. When you click on a row in the list view, the page loads immediately in it's own tab below. You can build result sets in the list view tabs along with their resultant HTML views in the browser tabs, ad infinitum. Coming soon to a desktop near you. Look for the first release here this weekend.
