Similarly, if you frequently share items from your browser to social services, Sleipnir does that well too. And while my own personal wish-list is for a speedy multi-platform plain text notes syncing service (no, I’m not a fan of Evernote), I’m sure the the App Linker functions here will serve some users quite well. Passing information from computer to smartphone is a problem worth tackling. Overall, I really like some of the things that the Fenrir folks are trying to do with Sleipnir. I still really like Sleipnir Mobile’s gestures on the iPad though, and you can check out my past overview of that here. Perhaps some Infinity Blade players might have better luck.
The gestures can get pretty elaborate, and I could not get many besides the simplest ones to work. I found that on my Macbook’s trackpad, I gradually got better results using two fingers and keeping my motions compact. If you try out the browser your success with the gestures may vary depending on what touch interface you are using (trackpad, magic mouse, or magic trackpad). Well, they’re fun when they work, although I confess I had a some difficulty with this. Oh, I almost forgot about the fun gesture controls. For Dropbox, it would be nice to be able to specify a sub-folder to save to as well. But images aren’t really searchable, so good luck finding what you’re looking for later if you use this function frequently.

With these, you can send screenshots of the current page (as pdf or png) to your preferred service, which is kind of nice. And below that there are ‘Save’ services, including Dropbox, Evernote, and Skydrive. It took me a while to discover that just below those, there are even more integrated services, like Readability and Instapaper for when you’d like to save articles to read later. Getting back to our Mac and the new 3.5 browser, if you access the Fenrir Pass Connect Page, you’ll see that there are a number of social services to which you can share content, including Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, and Tumblr.
