MiniMo(zilla) Running on Windows Mobile

webgrappa writes "If you (yes, yes, you that like OpenSource but use Win all the time) own a Windows Mobile Device, in a near future you'll trash Pocket IE and NetFront. MozillaZine has photos of MiniMo running on Windows Mobile Device."

    That's what Opera is for. Mini devices. Fork over the $30 or however much it costs, it's worth it if you use your device to surf the web.

      Or... you know.... download Mozilla, and not pay $30 for what is free everywhere else in the world. (The ability to browse pages on a less crappy browser)

      I'm sorry, but no it isn't. The Internet is free, and a browser is the most basic componant to access the net, so it too, should be free.

    nothing really compares to the size and quality of opera. It even supports common Linux handhelds (minimo is not Qtopia based so it only runs under X). But more than that opera has the BEST small screen rendering.

    This is a troll. WinFS and the old Palm filesystem are two completely different filesystem. WinFS's "database" functionality is an SQL-based system to store metadata about files on a traditional NTFS filesystem. Palm's old filesystem was non-hierarchial (there were no subdirectories, folders) and didn't even use/support files in the traditional sense. It was very altrusitic and difficult to work with for advanced applications. It worked fine back when handhelds didn't run advanced software, but does not work very well in today's world.
