Is There A Firefox For POcket PC?

I see all these Firefox Icons for iLauncher... I've never heard of it, so there's probably no PPC version of FF, but I just thought I'd ask to be sure.

There is a Mozzilla for the Pocket PC called Mino. Mozzilla is the creator of Firefox.

Yep, but it's actually MiniMo (as in Mini Mozilla). They released a new beta version recently. It is still pretty rough and is a memory hog, but it does work on the 6700.

Stick with Pocket IE or play for Opera Mobile which is the best one right now.

If you are running a Java VM on your PPC you can try Opera Mini for free.

Opera Mobile is a great browser! I couldn't stand PIE, even with PIE+ I always thought MS really screwed the pooch on it...

Definitely give Opera Mobile a shot, there's a new beta on (I believe) that has, or is going to have, much better Java support.

Check it out!

I'm finding the technical preview for netfront 3.4 is great. It uses very little memory.

Doesn't NetFront require an annual fee?

Using Opera and it is much better then MiniMo. MiniMo caused nothing but problems for me.

Like said earlier by another post though, it does take up a large amount of space but isn't that was memory cards are for.

Make sure you don't instal Opera to the memory card or your system will need to be soft reseted alot.

NOTE: Any program that will run in the background when not being used should never be installed to a memory card. This will cause the 6700 to lock up and needed to be soft rested.

I use Opera Mobile. It's the only browser I've tried out that will run my work related java sites correctly. They are not built for mobile users and our IT people are not exactly wizards so I'm sure it's the sites, but of the four browsers I've tried, Opera Mobile is it.
