First look at Internet Explorer Mobile 6 for Windows Mobile
The::unwired got a handful of screenshots of Internet Explorer Mobile 6. And it looks like a pretty major upgrade. First, you can choose between desktop and mobile browsing modes. In desktop mode the browser will squeeze full web pages onto your PDA or Smartphone's small screen. In mobile mode, you'll get the mobile version of any web page that's optimized for mobile browsers.
There's certainly still room for improvement. Full desktop mode on the iPhone version of Safari or on the Opera Mini web browser manages to squeeze large pages onto small screens without the need for scrollbars. Yet Internet Explorer Mobile 6 requires a bit of side to side scrolling action.
Internet Explorer Mobile 6 is expected to be available as a free upgrade for Windows Mobile 6.1 users soon. But if you just can't wait, you might want to check out the Skyfire web browser for Windows Mobile. It's available today and supports the desktop version of Flash, which means it can handle YouTube videos and other Flash content all within the browser.

Also, the Opera 9.5 beta is pretty good. It's a memory hog, and takes forever to load, but drag scrolling and double-tap zoom really make the experience fluid (once you get there)

Hey, Thanks for pointing out this browser. It is awesome. very quick. Also it lets you use a cursor, so it works well on hover menus.

I don't see any reason why I shouldn't stick to opera. This is just wrong Microsoft......

I really like http:www.skyfire.com. This thing is cool. I don't know how they do it, but it's blazing fast and I can actually watch hulu without a hitch while working out.
