I wonder if it's just some pedantic approach on Microsoft's part ... seems to me they were rumoured to have wanted to use the IE 6 code, rather than write a new browser that works like IE 6.
*However* I agree with the comments here that there are other browser offerings for mobile that give near desktop experiences, especially the Webkit browser. So it should be possible for Microsoft to come up with something similar, but, I suspect, not by using the existing IE 6 code.
Then there's the 'horespower' issue. Comparing a mobile prcessor to a desktop prcessor is a common mistake ... mobile browsers are not so powerful as similar speed desktop processors. Just because it says 800Mhz on the box does not mean that the processor has the same power as a desktop 800MHz processr. Even if it did - I don't think I'd want to run IE 6 on an 800MHz pentium today :-)
But all that is moot if ... didn't we already see video that seems to demo IE 6 on a Samsung BlackJack II or Epic?
