Nope, it's "only" a PIE plug-in (not a standalone browser with its own Web page renderer engine) and, therefore, can't really have an effect on how PIE renders pages.

Good job on the reviews!
Thanks

This is a really good read. Any chance in getting it in a more compat html downloadable version (I'm being funny). I liked the analysis and may have to employ it for my own testing of CMS systems at work.

I posted about the at my Mobile Ministry Magazine site, as part of wanting to minister, is being able to know what you can do online. Having a good browser (thats at least partically standards compliant) is part of it.

Default still confused

I have a verizon xv6600 ( non vga, wm2003se) and I am getting a little bothered with how pie works. I have been looking for something that would allow me to view regular web pages in portrait or landscape mode with out having to scroll horizontally are there any recommendations? I have about 20 meg available for programs and 60 meg available for system memory resources. I hate the idea of paying $50/year for firefox and would prefer a solution that is free.

thanks,

Danno

First, did you try the built-in One Column view mode in PIE? It's the best for crunching stuff if you don't need additional content stripping/GZIP encoding because you aren't over GPRS, and it's built-in.

If you, however, would welcome some additional GZIP crunching, you may want to give a try to Skweezer.

I'm not sure if this has been asked anywhere before, but will Windows Mobile 5.0's Internet Explorer Mobile fix the double-pixeling issue in WM2003 SE's PIE? OR at least will there be an option to disable double-pixeling? I would really like to know this..

I appreciate your time in writing this article, it was a great read. But I still see web surfing on the PPC still lagging and not too usable. I downloaded the latest update for my Sony PSP, and the web surfing is amazing close to your desktop experience. I've given up mobile surfing on my HP iPaq and stick to using the PSP now. It really is much better if you get the chance to try it.

Ok, done . I haven't converted my linked articles/posts into plain HTML, though. May do it though some day to avoid losing them upon a server crash (like was the case with the Pocket PC Passion hardware breakdown) - some of them ar eonly present on only one PPC site.

Cool Make sure you also check out the other benchmarking articles I've linked from them; also the ones not linked from the article but present on my homepage (for example, Wi-Fi throughput benchmarks, CPU and audio recorder benchmarks, image viewer/JPEG decoding benchmarks etc). You may find them interesting too.

I've been using PocketIE Plus for a couple of years, and so far it fits my needs better than any of the other options. I saw your review of the .3b version a couiple of months ago and was convinced to stay with the .2 version at that time. Is the .3b version any better yet? Any clues as to when it should be released as a final version?

Dunno, their current version is still 1.2 and no new beta of 1.3 has been released after b2.

When I wrote the old b2 review you refer to, I didnt notice that the scrolling problems go away with just disabling tabs completely. This is why I didn't recommend b2 for VGA devices at that time. Now, I do recommend it.
