Internet Explorer Mobile (named '''Pocket Internet Explorer''' or '''PIE''' before Windows Mobile 5.0)1 is an Internet browser developed by Microsoft for Pocket PC and Handheld PC that comes loaded by default with Windows Mobile and Windows CE for Handheld PC. It does similar operations as the popular Internet Explorer browser; however, it is not based on the same. IE Mobile is available both for Windows Mobile and Windows CE platforms, though the latter is more feature rich.


VERSION HISTORY

Pocket Internet Explorer was first introduced in Windows CE 1.0, released in support, including Framesets and tables. PIE 3.0, introduced in July 1998 with Windows CE 2.10, added support for JScript and various secure protocols.

The next version, Pocket Internet Explorer 4, was the first to support IFrame s, ActiveX , CSS , VBScript as well as further extending support for HTTPS and advanced HTML features. Pocket PC 2002 version of PIE brought limited support for DHTML and XML , and also the ability to browse WAP sites – a feature not present in Internet Explorer for PC. Currently it's a relatively feature-rich browser, supporting FTP , XSL , cookies, animated GIF s and much more.


EXTENSIONS

As with the desktop version, Pocket Internet Explorer's underlying rendering technology is exposed to program developers. This has led to various Web Browsers built on Pocket Internet Explorer that add additional functionality. Browsers that add "tabbed" browsing include Webby Mobile and FtxPBrowser .


COMPETITION

Only a few alternative browsers exist for Pocket PC s.
