Internet Explorer 6 Mobile browser is close to release, with the Windows Mobile Team Blog announcing the availability of emulator images of Windows Mobile 6.1.4 containing the updated browser. Even though Microsoft is finalizing IE 8 for PCs, it's only up to version IE 6 for its mobile platform, though IE8's javascript engine is backported to IE6 Mobile.Check out the features in Pocket Internet Explorer 6 Mobile (PIE6):
- Improved fidelity (support for full fidelity desktop rendering)
- Layout fixes to accommodate a mobile screen (text wrap)
- Enhanced Script and AJAX support (Jscript v5.7 from Internet Explorer 8)
- Improved multimedia experience (Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 for Adobe Flash content)
- Deeper integration with search
- Enhanced cursor navigation model
- Touch and gesture support - pan support
- Multiple zoom levels
- Easy switching between mobile / desktop versions of sites by specifying UA strings.
You can download the emulator images from Microsoft here. If you're really good, you can pull out the emulator code, convert it to a .cab and install the browser on your Windows Mobile.
