Full web browsing coming to Windows Mobile earlier than expected !
October 07, 2007 [General] | By Edward J. R.

CEO of HTC told us that full web browsing is coming to HTC phones next year, what may mean that either Microsoft will release then next version of Windows Mobile (i.e. Windows Mobile 7 - Microsoft employees already carry it around in their phones) with new version of Pocket Internet Explorer, or, that HTC will be pre-installing some 3rd party browser.

Maybe however users of Windows Mobile phones will not have to wait till next year! Read on!

While Picsel Technologies company already offers Internet browser for Windows Mobile with overview mode, it is offered only for manufacturers and not for end users. On the other hand Opera - a company located in Norway - is offering their browser also for end users.

What is full web browsing for mobile phoens? It is ability to view pages on mobile devices the same way as they are viewed on desktop computers - i.e. the same looks (full page layout or overview) and behavior (AJAX support = XML over HTTP with use of JavaScript).

While it is true that it was Apple with their Safari browser for iPhone that was first to market with full browsing for mobile phones, it looks like Opera (that supports also Windows Mobile consistently) will also offer such browser, as their pre-announcement in banner form is claiming:

Coming soon

Opera 9
  • Opera Widgets
  • Overview mode with intelligent zoom
  • Advanced functionality with AJAX and Web 2.0
To see Opera's pre-announcement about Opera Mobile 9 browser, click here (you can purchase there Opera Mobile for Windows Mobile too - it is already one of the best, if not the best, Internet browser for Windows Mobile and certainly a free upgrade for Opera Mobile 9 will be offered).
