I tried using NetFront v3.3 for Pocket PC (Technical Preview version)
Install Opera 8.50 for Windows Mobile on W-ZERO 3I tried to see the following page thought that there was no other browser that works.
Software - W - ZERO 3 Wiki
As a result, Minimo was rejected because it was so heavy that I could not talk. Expecting in the future.
And to try another "NetFront".
Details are as below. After downloading, if you run it by connecting with W - ZERO 3 with ActiveSync, installation is completed.
It takes a little time only at the first start
And surprisingly we need a restart
Start NetFront again after reboot
The menu looks something like this
There is also a preservation menu properly
The page translation function seems to use Infoseek's service
Window operation
Font size can be switched in 5 steps
Various browse modes are installed
Various display modes
The zoom of the page is also fine
So I tried to display this GIGAZINE. It is the default setting of NetFront.
The font size is medium.
More functions are available from the file menu.
First, I will look at bookmarks.
In this Preview version it seems that there are up to 10 bookmarks as a limitation.
You can also see the history
Local file can also be opened
You can also see the properties of the page
This is a display menu
This is a text browse mode
Simple browse mode
Another Rapid-Render seems to do rendering in two stages with text browsing mode first, reading the image and table and then normal browse mode, it feels nice.
This is when you set the font to the smallest size. Information that can be displayed is increasing.
Try deleting the toolbar further
Then let me display it in full screen. Quite spacious.
Also, you can virtually change the screen size only in the NetFront window.
Tabs can also be used. Up to two are impossible in this Preview version
In regular version scheduled to come out next year, it seems that you can usually go up to five.
In the tool menu there is an item called "browser setting".
Various kinds of cache, history, autocomplete related
Further detailed settings such as the number of records saved and automatic on / off function of soft keyboard automatic popup.
It is quite sophisticated.
You can also change the default display settings
In further detailed settings up to font change and decoding meaningless understanding of decode image holding range.
The proxy can be put in properly. Though it was OK as it was via wireless LAN, in case of via PHS it is unlikely that this proxy must be turned off.
Dialup can also be connected automatically.
It is an interesting place that you can specify mail software to launch from the link of mail.
In addition, WMV and Flash plugins are attached in the regular version.
Certificate can also be imported so it is possible to include the certificate of the server you set up yourself
The on / off switching of the confirmation dialog is also fairly good feeling
It might be nice to be able to decide the behavior of the cursor keys
User agents can also be added and edited by themselves.
Although this Preview version has a limit of one ... ....
It is quite easy to switch this user agent arbitrarily and to add it.
You can set CSS yourself, decide the scrolling width, whether to send Referer or not
As you can decide, pretty much setting is pretty fine, it is amazing.
