Curious about Windows Mobile browsers? Well everything you could possibly want to know and more about Opera 9.5, Skyfire, Opera Mini, Iris, Pocket IE 6, Pre-6 IE and NetFront. And the benchmark? None other than iPhone’s Safari browser.
How do you think these browsers did when put to the test? You’ll have to check out the comparison chart to find out for yourself (Werner Ruotsalainen’s full story is available here)!

Can’t wait to try out IE 6 on 6? Well, here’s your chance… sooner than expected!
The good folks over at MoDaCo have just released a custom ROM for the HTC Touch HD and, to our surprise, IE 6 on 6 is included! The browser is not available as a separate download so you have to download the full ROM, but from what we’re hearing it’s a great ROM. The ROM, based on the HTC 1.19 Asia ROM, is in English.
You can find this awesome ROM over at MoDaCo. Be sure to let us know how you like it!

I know plenty of you were less-than-impressed with the news of a new version of Internet Explorer Mobile (6), but it’s worth reporting that as per ZDNet’s announcement, it looks like China will be the first to put Mobile IE 6 onto a Windows Mobile device. Specifically, it will be the Chinese version of the Samsung Omnia to take the first hit get the first native install. Who’s next?

Microsoft has begun previewing their newest version of Internet Explorer Mobile (version 6) as a free emulator online. And while it’s no Skyfire, Iris, or Opera… it’s not terrible. It is, at the very least, a huge improvement over Internet Explorer Mobile 5.
I have high hopes for this one, which I was sure I’d never say about Internet Explorer in any incarnation. But here it is, you heard it here first.
IE Mobile 6 features multiple zoom capabilities, better and deeper search integration, enhanced script and AJAX support, support for full fidelity desktop rendering, text wrap, Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 for Adobe Flash content, enhanced cursor navigation, touch and gesture support (pan support), and switch between mobile and desktop modes.
