Windows Mobile Browser Update

Written on October 1, 2008 – 5:43 am | by james |

‘6 on 6′ - basically, it means IE 6 running on Windows Mobile 6.1. This might not seem like a big deal for many Windows users until you consider this - the code base for the current version of IE on Win Mobile is basically IE 4.x (circa 1997!). Scarey, eh?

Even though the code is being updated it looks like MS are definitely going for the retro look - look at the scroll bars in the shot below. Remind you of any massively outdated browsers?

I’ll update you when I have a hands on. To be honest, there are other browsers aimed at the mobile market which look good and give great functionality i.e Opera 9.5. The likes of Mozilla are also at the gates so MS had better come up with a compelling offer or we could see them losing out in the mobile market.
