Browsing the Web

brutedawg20 · 12-13-05, 03:14 PM

Hi guys,
Recently I have been surfing the web more and more with the larger availability of wifi connections....Is there a browser out there that is better than PIE...for instance something with multi windows, so when i click something that needs to open a new window it will. Or will view non mobile sites better. Thanks

For free you can get Minimo but its very slow on my axim x50. For $25 you can get Netfront. It has a 45 day trial to thats better than pie. Trial supports 2 windows, smart fit, more features than pie. Full version features unlimited windows, java, javascript, flash, and more!! Good deal for $25!

It's said Opera plans to release a PPC version.

Theres one that gives multiwindows. I haven't used it in about 9 months. Dont qoute me on this, but I think it was called ftxp browser and I'm not sure where I found it. It did allow for pictures to be downloaded

I'm using MultiIE (www.multiie.com) and am very happy with it. It is a PIE add-on that adds tabs, screen-drag scrolling, button-remapping, and a few other things that make surfing a lot easier.

I really like MultiIE, too.

2 complaints about multiIE v.3.1 on my X30 WM2003SE A02 -- they forgot to add a text in page search to the lame PIE (IE 4.0 browser); & they didn't fool web servers into thinking PIE w/ multiIE is IE 5+ compatible. Many sites are now bitching that IE 4.0 isn't supported, e.g., Yahoo.

Does Netfront solve these irritations?

Now using trial version of Netfront 3.2 and it rocks! (still no text search tho)

MikeUnwired reported about the Opera for WM5 at iPaqHQ. You need to use a modified dll (as described by cookiekid a couple of posts down in the iPaqHQ thread). The browser does access more websites but it seemed quite a bit slower loading pages on my X51v than PIE so I haven't bothered reinstalling it since I did the A06 upgrade.
