Iris Browser was a web browser for Windows Mobile smartphones[1] and personal digital assistants (PDAs) developed by the Torch Mobile company. The first version of Iris Browser was released in 2008.[2] It is currently one of only three web browsers designed for portable devices which scores a 100/100 on the Acid3 test.[3]
