So its possible they have ported web kit to windows ce. However that doesn't mean they will come up with a good browser by any means.

Support custom url handling such as mailto:, map:// mms:// etc.... They have their work cut out if they are going to make an actual browser. From their video demo they showed, I can't see them making anything close to Operas quality in under a year.
