Hello
Netfront's website says ver 3.3 supports Macromedia Flash. However,the trial version does not support it due to its trial software only. Does full registered version come with Macromedia Flash, or do you have to download the Flash program? If you have to download it, how does Netfront load it!
when you buy it you get a new version of the browser and a serial key... you can choose to enable/disable the flash support within the browser

I ain't buying nothin, they suck for charging and if m$ would have made the js and flash in pie better than we wouldn't need to find other browsers in the first place.

Well said, you spend hundreds on the devices that is advertised as having internet browser and then you end up buying another that actually works.
Same applies to other apps. I guess cost of software to mask tons of bugs
and finally add advertised functionality to the device is 2x maybe 3 times
the price of hardware.

Note that JavaScript (NOT to be consfused with Java; it's the latter that must be enabled as a plug-in, NOT the former!) is already supported by the demo of NF and can't be made better.
Flash support: do a forum search for my NF + Flash-related bug reports. The Flash support of NF is certainly inferior to that the PIE + Macromedia plug-in combo.

Unfortunately, the built-in PIE/IEM in Windows Mobile indeed isn't the best. I recommend getting a decent plug-in (PIEPlus or MultiIE) or, if you want DECENT JavaScript (incl., to some degree, even Ajax) support, better rendering and blazingly fast speed, Opera Mobile.
IMHO, NetFront is decidedly worse than Opera Mobile in almost eveyr respect. Please read my earlier comparisons to find out why I think so - do a forum search.
Not completely true . . . NF has "Helper" option that allows you to assign extension associations that it will automatically recognize and execute the assigned application if executed on any website.
This essentially allows any PPC application executable that is referenced on a webpage to be executed from within NF. It's a nice feature.

Opera Mobile's better with rendering pages for a handheld - Netfront's better at rendering pages like a desktop, IMO. It has its virtues (Java support, assignable 'helper' applications), and its weaknesses (Smart-Fit and Just-Fit don't work too well in my experience, and scramble the page too much for easy viewing).
I've gotten both browsers, and use them for different applications - for viewing Japanese pages in their original format, I find Netfront is better. For viewing other pages in a handheld-friendly version, Opera's better... although the way it crushes graphics isn't exactly to my taste, it does do a better job placing them on a page afterwards.

I've meant downloadable plug-ins written by Access, not 3rd party apps like for example the already-present WMP, which, as you've pointed out, can indeed be configured as an application to be invoked upon certain Web content.
