PDAJunkie.net has reviewed the Web browser NetFront 3.0 from Access. Steve Yee writes: "As we all know, the browser that comes with the Pocket PC has been somewhat behind the technological eight ball, lacking basic support for what many web pages utilize for standards. For users, this makes browsing the web with Pocket IE very unsatisfying. Thankfully, two web browsers have come out that allows users to have a more fulfilling web browsing experience. One of them, Bitstream's Thunderhawk, was reviewed earlier. The other browser that has recently been released is Access' NetFront 3.0. Access is a Japanese company that has been producing compact browser software for years in the telephone and non-PC marketplace. They even make a NetFront browser for the Playstation 2! Thankfully, they have taken their expertise in browser technology and brought it to the Pocket PC world. Their browser conforms to the following standards:
HTML4.01, XHTML1.0, cHTML (Compact HTML), XHTML Basic 1.0
