ACCESS Announces Availability of NetFront v3.1 Browser for Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 08:00 PM
"Access, a global provider of mobile content delivery and access technologies, announced today that its NetFront v3.1 browser software for Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 2003 for Pocket PC will be available this month from popular download sites Handango.com and PocketGear.com. Also available will be versions to support Pocket PC 2002, including support for Pocket PC Phone Edition and for the original Pocket PC operating system, as well as free trial versions and distinct versions with Java™ support. Limited time discounts are available for all of the newly available versions of NetFront.
"Windows Mobile is growing fast, and we’re happy to complement its increasing popularity by releasing a Windows Mobile version of our NetFront browser," said Toru Arakawa, president and CEO of ACCESS. "We’ve built special capabilities into NetFront for Windows Mobile, such as Smart-Fit Rendering™ and multi-window browsing, to give users a better mobile Internet browsing experience than is currently available on their platform."
NetFront certainly seems like a capable browser, but I have yet to try it. Since it's competing with the free Pocket Internet Explorer, it would have to be quite a bit better to be worth $25 USD. What's the verdict? Anyone here tried it? If so, what did you think?
