Windows Mobile Louisville

Microsoft announced a downloadable test version of its “next generation web browser” for Windows Mobile - an “Internet Explorer Mobile 6 Emulator” for developers.

Recently, there have been numerous competitor browsers which have been kicking the butt of the default (weak) Internet Explorer currently found on WM 6.1 devices:  NetFront, Iris Browser, Opera Mobile 9.5, Skyfire, and (soon) Firefox Mobile.

Internet Explorer Mobile 6 is alleged to have some of the following enhancements:

• Faster operation
• A zoom-out button that lets users see the overall layout of a web page, then zoom in to a desired portion of it.
• The ability to view web pages full-screen, without menu bars
• Adobe Flash support
• Support for Microsoft Silverlight
• H.264 video compatibility

We’ll see - eventually!
