does anyone have a link (i searched)
for the differences between ppc2003se and wm6 (release from this site)
I use homeseer for home automation... the guys there are using nokia 800 and 810's... also iphones and other devices..
they said the new plugin is not compatible unless I meet...
blurb....
A typical use for this package would be for touch screen usage. I wrote this for use on my Linux based Nokia N800 with a Mozilla browser, however it can be used on any system with a web browser that is supported. This includes IE5+ and tested with the latest versions of Mozilla, Firefox, Safari and Opera, however they must be Javascript enabled.
so does the wm6 have javascript? also I guess I need to get one of the other browsers listed then???
Thanks
Jeff
p.s. link for you to see the plugin in action

ACCESS Co., developer of alternate Pocket PC Web browser NetFront, has just (they have already releaseed the final, Japanese version about three weeks ago) released the English version of the latest, 3.3 version.
The browser costs $29.80; if you have purchased version 3.2, you're entitled to a rebate. Then, you only end up having to pay $14.80. (Note that the shopping page of NetFront 3.3 refers to the 3.1-to-3.2 upgrade discount - it still hasn't been updated for the 3.2-to-3.3 upgrade discount). It's available here.
I, based on the Japanese version, have already published several bug reports and mini-reviews of the new browser (as the English version is not different from the Japanese one, there's no point in not checking out the reviews of the latter), all accessible in the Web Browsers category of the Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine Expert Blogs. Of them, I recommend this mini-review, this comparison to Opera Mobile, this and this bug reports. To shortly and succintly summarize these articles, I do recommend NetFront - but in no way as much as Opera Mobile, the, right now, best Pocket PC Web browser. I, particularly, do not recommend NetFront if you have a WM2003SE device, where the driver memory bug of NetFront makes the entire system really unstable.
I have been interested in seeing web apps for wm devices (ala what you can get on Iphone through Safari). Are there any such apps? Any specific browser needed to get these apps? OR Safari port for windows mobile?
There are Opera Mobile - Internet Explorer - Deepfish (beta and it sucks) and Opera Mini 4 (Java, works great (except you don't have touchscreen moving interface) but it's cheaper so better (less data to download).
I don't think there are others

As far as Safari widgets are concerned, they can't be used on WM and can't be ported either.
that is, you need to rely on alternate technologies. Fortunately, better WM browsers support Flash, Java applets, Web services, Ajax and the like.
You can find an answer to ALL your questions in my Web Browsing Bible: http://forum.xda-developers.com:80/showthread.php?t=301009
apple is not really known to port to wm
and is as closed sourcecodewise as ms
are you are talking about some widget kinda
things for safari ?
yeah.. how can i find a safari-like web application experience on wm. is there a listing of "windows mobile web apps" -- i don't mean the browser itself.
Somebody ought to port proper Mozilla to WM6!

minimo? albeit it's pretty buggy and slow
With the recent release of Opera Mini 4 beta 2 (see the review, which has even been frontpaged by SmartphoneThoughts, HERE), which, in many respects, even better than Opera Mobile, the, so far, best Windows Mobile browser, Opera Mobile got a really serious contender.
Now, some really bright people have found out how individual MIDlets under the latest-and-greatest MIDlet Manager (the environment that runs MIDlets, including Opera Mini), Jbed by Esmertec, can be made run directly, via a direct link in, say, your Programs folder. This vastly reduces the time needed to start Opera Mini, and might also offer (I haven’t tested this as yet - it certainly works with IBM J9, another MIDlet manager) some other goodies - for example, making Opera Mini for the default, system-wide browser. That is, when you for example click a link in a HTML mail (or, click a file in the file system), Opera Mini will be automatically invoked and the link target (or, the file) rendered. Please see THIS page for more information.
Speaking of other MIDlet Managers, a lot has happened to TAO Intent MIDlet Manager as well. Well-known XDA-Developers hacker “Risidoro” has managed to 1, fix the “one shot” security problem of the, so far, only .1034 version of TAO Intent; 2, create a CAB file of an even more up-to-date (.1036) version of this MIDlet Manager. The latter works flawlessly and also has the ability to be installed to a storage card (which, so far, only the Russian hacked .1023 versions were capable of). Upgrading to it is highly recommended if you want to stay with TAO Intent (because, for example, of its M3G (3D) capabilities, which not even the latest Esmertec Jbed offers.) Please see THIS thread for more information.
Hopefully, Risidoro also manages to create a decent installer of another MIDlet manager, Jblend by Aplix, which comes with devices like the Sharp Zero, the Samsung BlackJack and sports pretty unique capabilities; for example, M3G (3D) support. See the THIS thread for more info.
Second, a request. Does anyone work for Esmertec, Aplix or IBM? Please tell the folks to read their mail - I won’t publish my long-promised MIDlet Bible before I am able to discuss all the related questions (most importantly the OEM-only issue of Jbed‘s / Jblend‘s, the two best and most standards-compliant MIDlet manaers today). If my mails (I’ve sent them last Sunday) are lost, I’m ready to re-send them. Feel free to mail me at werner_AT_remove_th1s_pocketpcmag_d0t_com.
My 503g comes with Esmertec and I like it. It has been very stable with everything I run especially the new Opera Mini Beta.
Now you are saying I can install the newest version of JBed on top of Esmertec and it will work better, or am I misunderstanding you?
Thanks.

Yup. see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326951
Cool, thanks. This does work better.
The Esmertec folks have answered my mail - that is, I only need Aplix and IBM to do the same.
Basics: I can't seem to get Internet pages to view properly. Many are too large for my screen or are forced zoom in/out.
More Details: I'm using a HTC 6900 with Sprint Service and unlimited data. I've been through many ROM's, but ever since I went to WM 6.1 my Internet pages have not been loading like they did with WM 5. I am currently using NFSFAN's WM 6.5 v13. I have also tried Opera Mobile and it also seems to have the same problems. I have searched these forums and the ppcgeeks forums with no luck and only 1 or 2 mentions of the problem so maybe its a rare occurrence? I have tried both Mobile View and Desktop View options and neither corrects the problem.
Examples: ESPN Mobile website now has to be scrolled sideways to see entire page where as before it would fit-to-screen. Same occurs with afterdawn mobile. Slashdot mobile will not even load into any sort of mobile view, just gives me the normal website view.
I believe you have IE6 on your ROM, which means it will render differently since it is designed as a desktop browser. If you want old IE you'll have to change to a 6.1 or earlier ROM most likely.
Opera Mobile can be customized by going to aboutpera in the address bar(or used in mobile view mode in settings).
If you want awesome mobile browser, though, get Opera Mini. It is Java, so get a good Midlet Manager, like the latest jBed. It renders everything well in QVGA (like your device) and works perfectly for mobile pages.
There are other browser options but I definitely prefer the Operas.
Hello I've just joined. My question is a frustrating one. I have a Nokia Lumia 520 windows phone running Denim after the update. I've tried various browsers but I cannot access certain chat sites that state they support HTML5 for smartphones. I've noticed that most of these sites don't provide an app and are java based which isn't used on the windows phones. The nearest I get is a splash screen loading that's it. Is there any work around? Browsers used Internet Explorer, UC Browser, Opera Mini beta(unstable), Surfy. Thanks in advance.
