TechBrowser offers the best possible experience for reading the latest tech news via the website Techmeme.com on your iPhone.

Techmeme is the best tech news site on the web, and even has a nice mobile-optimized page. However, viewing the mobile-optimized Techmeme.com as just one tab in Safari on your iPhone is less than ideal. Tab switching between tech stories is fiddly, and time-consuming, and the Safari browser chrome takes up valuable screen real estate.

TechBrowser makes viewing the mobile-optimized Techmeme.com much easier and faster. Heres why:

1. In TechBrowser, its always easy to return to a full-screen view of the front page of Techmeme.

2. Pull-to-refresh the front page of Techmeme makes checking for the latest news easier with just one hand.

3. Browsing to the contents of a story (or back to Techmeme when youre done) is faster than in Safari. TechBrowser uses a simple "push" animation to an inline browser, rather than awkward, time-consuming tab switching.

4. A nice-looking icon for placing Techmeme on your iPhone home screen.
