Hi Menneisyys,
Thanks for this great article as well as for the bandwidth reduction one.
I am about to buy my first pda and want to get a wifi enabled one that will allow me to browse the web. So these articles have been very, very instructional.

Now, although this is a PocketPC forum, this article is so good that I have to ask whether, now that the Palm TX is out, anyone could somewhat objectively comment how does the new Palm Blazer 4.3 browser compare.
Thanks

A very important remark on ftxPBrowser : if the 'New Window' mode is enabled (represented by the 'New Window' icon,



,on the toolbar), then, HTML forms using POST won't work at all. Therefore, for every page that you would like to fill in forms in, click this icon before submitting the contents of the form!

BTW, I've also posted a quick intro to the app to my PPCMag Expert Blog at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ind...browser&more=1 .

NetFront 3.3 Technical Preview 1.02 is Out! A Comparative Review & Bug Report

I've just finished scrutinizing the latest build, 1.02 of NetFront 3.3 Technical Preview. It has a lot of news (and still some not-fixed bugs); anyone interested in browsing the Web should check out the article to see what's new.

In addition to the above article, it has extensive information on the three scroll modes of Netfront.

Let me take this opportunity to thank you for the continuing updates to this thread. It is my definitive source for current PPC browser information, and allows me to keep a close eye on Minimo without the effort of actively seeking out news.

I've finished writing a large report on a generic Pocket Internet Explorer bug I've just discovered. If you have problems dowloading files from Web sites that use Referer-based filtering to avoid linking files from unrelated sites, you will definitely want to read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ind...3&p=464&more=1
