Unfortunately, a lot of Internet Explorer Mobile's changes are under-the-hood: speed and security enhancements, full-screen viewing support, and improved scripting support, but as far as multiple-page browsing is concerned, it's still not there, which is where third-party applications such as MultiIE and Pocket Plus jump in. As much of an annoyance as it is, it's taken seven complete revisions of the desktop version of Internet Explorer for tabbed browsing to finally appear. Heh, and when will the mobile version get it? Only time will tell.

I would GLADLY pay for this product! I've been waiting for a proper internet browser for the PPC platform for years, after getting the hx4700 with the wonderful VGA screen, I miss a good browser more than ever. Thunderhawk is good, but I'd prefer a 'normal' browser.

I bet Opera will run fast and smooth when they release it, so the only thing I'd look for before buying it, would be true VGA support. A VGA PPC is very capable of showing websites, and actually pretty usable for surfing the net, compared to QVGA units.

Do you hear that, Opera?! VGA! :twisted:

I concur,but interestingly, the Loox 720 IS a VGA PPC. I assume from looking at the screen shots closely we can ascertain whether VGA is being used to its full potential or not.

I'm sticking my neck out here...
Is the screenshot actually showing the PPC version of Opera? Because it looks more like Opera Mini, showing the Opera for PPC webpage.
Opera Mini is just a Java app that can run on a Java engine, so in theory, it could be made to work on the PPC, but it's not actually Opera for PPC.
Anyway, Umm, Opera for PPC? Yeah!!! I tried FireFox for six months. I really tried to love it like Opera, but I just switched back to Opera a few weeks ago. I don't regret the decision. The thing that gets me most excited is that the people at Opera "like to do things right."

I have MultiIE, and don't mind paying for add-ons, or even a whole browser, but I do want the browser to at least be VGA-capable, to have some sort of bookmarks, and to be able to access most, if not all, websites without getting weirdly formated text, big blank spots on the page where content is missing, or messages about my obsolete browser.
