MultiIE 4.0 Released and Reviewed
Internet Explorer Mobile enhancement, MultiIE 4.0 includes everything from tabbed browsing to quick user-agent string switching. Werner (a.k.a. Menneisyys) has given the plug-in a lot of hands-on time, so if you're interested in learning all its highs and lows, check out his review here. For a free trial version or purchasing details, head over to the Southway Mobile Applications web site.

Thanks for the frontpage 
If you've read my review in the last 3 hours and haven't (yet) noticed the update (on the latest, D71 build), check back to the article for additional info (in a nuthsell: the brand new, D71 build fixes all the bugs I've listed in the article).

Great! I have been looking forward to this update...I have missed using this program ever since I got my Qtek 9100 back in October of last year.

And now of course the question: should I go for MultiIE or for PiePlus? What's are the advantages of one against the other?

PIEPlus 2.0 does support WM5 softkeys - its under Tools, Options (Options Plus in 2.1b2), on the Menu tab, Menubar option - Enable soft-key menubar on WM5. Tick the checkbox and the soft keys are enabled.

Both are excellent apps. You want to check out my two in-depth reviews (MultiIE 4 , PIEPlus 2.1b2 (along with that of PIEPlus 2.0)) because I've devoted pages to explaining the differences.
As usual, now that the bugs in MultiIE 4 are fixed, the choice between the two apps boils down to personal preferences.

Yup, it's there, as with NetFront 3.3. I've, however, meant assigning not just the usual (as in the basic IEM) Back/Menu functionality to the two softkeys, but much more advanced / more useful ones like the one in MultiIE: toggling the scroll and the full screen mode (the functionality that can also be accessed with the mini-icons in the bottom left and right corners, respectively) upon long-press.
Incidentally, as long as this extended (and useful if you plan to use your handheld in one-handed mode) functionality of soft buttons are concerned, they only work on WM5 devices that have native WM5 soft buttons; that is, for example, on the HTC Wizard or TyTN. On devices that don't have dedicated soft buttons, even if you assign one/two hardware buttons the left/right soft button functionality, long-press won't work inside MultiIE 4 d71. I've tested this on both the x51v (A12) and the WM5-upgraded hx4700. (On the latter, by assigning the softkey fiunctionality to both the default and the long-press keys - that is, instead of the by default "Calendar" and "Rotate Screen" functionality of the leftmost "Calendar" button in turn. Neither of them worked in long-press mode.)
That is, this (excellent) functionality doesn't work with devices that don't have dedicated hardware soft buttons. Hope this will be fixed in a subsequent MultiIE 4 build.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that point.

I used MultiIE for a long time on my h2215 and was very happy. Then I switched to a PPC6700 and could no longer use it, so I started using something else, thinking once the new version of MultiIE came out I would go back to it.
Well, SouthwayCorp is not getting a dime from me, and here's the reason why.
Any time I register my email address with a company, I create an alias based on that company - in this case multiie@[mydomainname].com. One day I started receiving spam (and I mean SPAM, the nasty kind) to this address. I promptly notified them of this issue, thinking that maybe their system got hacked and their database stolen. I never got a reply from them.
To this day I still receive spam on that alias. Even if they got hacked, or for whatever unbelievable reason that address ended up in the hands of a spammer, the least thing I expected from them was an aknowledgement of the issue and a show of concern.
If they indeed got hacked, and chose not to notify anybody of this, then shame on them. If they sold my email address to a spammer, then may the flames of hell burn their arses for all eternity.
Peace!

yeah,
yeah, selling names is nothing new and I imagine that is what happened.
If they got hacked, and you purchased anything from them, with a credit card or a bank account and they DIDN'T notify you, they that is a law broken and they could be easily sued.
That said, there have been a number of cases in the past, of employees WITHIN a company and not to the company's knowledge, gathering emails addresses, and selling them to company's that pay .50-10$ for a LIVE address.
