Internet Explorer Mobile 6

Last week at Tech-Ed EMEA Developers conference we announced the availability of emulators and documentation for Internet Explorer Mobile 6, which is the next generation browser for Windows Mobile.

The browser will be available on Windows Mobile devices soon.  Right now you can experience it through the Windows Mobile 6.1.4 Emulator Images

This package adds emulator images to Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008 that let you test applications for Windows Mobile 6.1.4, including Internet Explorer Mobile 6.

With Internet Explorer Mobile 6 you get a much improved browsing experience:

Improved fidelity (support for full fidelity desktop rendering)

Layout fixes to accommodate a mobile screen (text wrap)

Enhanced Script and AJAX support  (Jscript v5.7 from Internet Explorer 8)

Improved multimedia experience (Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 for Adobe Flash content)

Deeper integration with search

Enhanced cursor navigation model

Touch and gesture support – pan support

Multiple zoom levels

Easy switching between mobile / desktop versions of sites by specifying UA strings.

    According to Khush over at the official Windows Mobile Team blog it will NOT be available to current windows mobile users and will only ship with new handsets. If this is true it is a massive mistake by Microsoft and will further alienate their install base. http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2008/11/11/internet-explorer-mobile-6.aspx
