First impression of NetFront 3.3 - Excellent
Recently installed NetFront 3.3 browser on the Treo 700w. I have used NetFront before, and was always impressed with it; however, 3.3 is the first NetFront version compatible with Windows Mobile 5. NetFront is known for supporting the latest standards, and this version upholds that tradition. I am able to review my credit card activity on-line, and also fully view my bank site, including pictures of cancelled checks. Since these sites are very secure, and use the latest W3C standards, I am impressed with NetFront 3.3's ability to display them as well as it did.

The only slightly negative experience with NetFront 3.3 is it no longer supports the http://mms.... url structure. This structure calls a streaming Windows Movie File from a server. The mms type of URL works fine in Pocket IE, IE Desktop, and Safari. The mms url structure is probably deprecated; however, I use it to ensure the url is understood by older browsers. I am sure coding the new format that NetFront 3.3 understands will not be a problem, but I am concerned about other mobile browsers understanding the new format. I could have two links, one for NetFront 3.3, and one for older browsers, but I would prefer not to do that.

I will continue putting NetFront 3.3 through its paces, but my first impression is that NetFront 3.3 is an excellent browser for the newer Pocket PC's.  ¶ 11:22 PM
