One of the weak sports of the Windows Mobile 6.1 platform - besides the limited MediaPlayer - is the Internet Explorer browser, which has a hard time with competing with rivals. It's no surprise that most WM-based handsets have the highly successful Opera Mobile browser preinstalled, which is practically better in all parts than Microsoft's plain solution. The Windows Mobile 6.1.4 emulator, available for developers, has the latest Internet Explorer Mobile 6 browser, which seems to be a serious improvement, compared to the very basic previous version. The new browser has finally no problems with page layouts, it can break texts to align them to the screen, it has better AJAX and JavaScript support (JScript v5.7 from IE 8) and it has multimedia improvements by featuring Adobe Flash Lite 3.1. The user interface has also improved, it has more zooming levelsm a simpler change between views, simple scrolling with a finger. The emulator is available from the Microsoft developers' site, but Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 is required in order to use it.
