I'm trying to figure out if the maroon "O" in the capture stands for Opera, or Overstock.com. The two logos look almost identical!

I would love a replacement for Pocket IE. Tabbed browsing and real security would rule!

Come on enough already. Just release it. It can't be any worse than NetFront and must be better than PIE by a long shot.

So is this going to be the next place for browser wars?

With every new PPC OS, the only built-in app I've ever really wanted to see improved is PIE. It looks almost the same now as it did in 2000. I know there are lots of people that have been waiting for the improvements to Word and Excel, but I rarely even use those.

I'm not waiting for Opera, or Netfront or anything else. I just want PIE to do it's job. I don't need tabbed browsing, I only have 2 1/4 inches across the top. Native multi-page support would be nice, guess that happens in WM5. I'd like it to support what IE on the desktop supports. Everyday I hit something that isn't supported right. Can't accept Panera Bread's free WiFi Terms of Use, can't get on my Company Web Mail, can't, can't can't. Why the heck should I have to get some third party thing to do what MS should be doing right in the first place. It's an IE world out there, PIE should work in it.

If you want a connected device to be accepted, it has to do what connected folks want to do, out of the box. And what do folks do when connected? Web and e-mail. And what two things really need work on the PPC platform? Web and E-Mail.

Fix PIE :evil:

I'll jump on the bandwagon -

If it provides a decent VGA user experience I'll gladly pay for it. I can't figure out why NetFront went to all the trouble of updating their browser without taking it to the final step of making it VGA aware.

Opera was included on the Motorola A780 smart phone (Linux) I'm currently using and it is a pretty robust browser. It seems to work for me on most sites - only have problems with sites that use flash or some types of javascript - much like with PIE today.

Tabbed browsing on a Pocket PC screen? Sorry, that just won't do. Multi-window browsing, yes, but tabbed? I don't think so.

That said, I'm waiting for Minimo to reach release status.
