I was interested to see if iDroid Mini Browser would work with me.com
to use "Find My iPhone". My wife and I both have iPhones and we both
have a me.com account. It would be handy to know if we could use
either phone, when we are not near a Mac or pc, to find the other
iPhone. I tried this while on wifi with my original iPhone.

After a warning that I should use a different browser, me.com let me
login. I was able to use "Find My iPhone". It was incredibly slow. The
keyboard was portrait only. When I zoomed in to the map (so that the
map filled the entire screen) all further gestures were interpreted as
map control functions so I could not zoom out of the map to see the
rest of the page or get to the mobileme tabs at the top of the page.
Perhaps there is a way but I could not find it. Part of the problem
was that me.com was so so so slow that I couldn't be sure which
gesture it was responding to.

I have not tried the iDroid Mini Browser for anything else yet.

Robert, thanks for your posting.
