Only about two years late, browsing on a Windows Mobile device is finally seeing some improvement… I mean c’mon… the iPhone has been out for over a year! What took so long!!?
Below are two alternatives to the included Pocket I.E. that I use in tandem, each with its own purpose:
Opera Mobile 9.5 beta 2 – Internet Browser
OVERVIEW: Probably the best way to view the internet on a Windows Mobile device.
PROS: Nicely allows full web pages to be viewed as they would on a desktop with zoom capabilities that respond quickly. The large buttons and icons are easily used with either a stylus or a finger.
CONS: Does not support some of the new media formats found on the internet, such as FLASH (YouTube), out of the box; a FLASH plugin may be available.
SkyFire – Internet Browser
OVERVIEW: Only good for one thing – viewing FLASH.
PROS: Allows video on the web such as FLASH (YouTube) to finally to be viewed, easily, on a Windows Mobile device.
CONS: Everything else you could think of.
