Opera 8.0 vs. Pocket IE: The Battle of Mobile Browsers
,----[ Quote ]
| Looking at the above table, it is not rocket science to determine that
| Opera 8.0 beats Pocket Internet Explorer hands down. Pocket IE is
suitable
| for casual browsers who seldom use their mobile devices for serious
| surfing. The innovative features of Opera bring it very close to its
| desktop counterpart. If all you do is check mails and that too seldom,
| we would recommend Pocket IE. If you are that tech-savvy person who
would
| not settle for anything but the best, we would hands down recommend
Opera
| as the mobile browser of choice.

It's a shame they don't bother to mention standards-compliance and CSS
support.
At first, I wondered if Opera is so great, why not recommend it
unequivocally for both the casual and the power user. Then I noticed Opera
Mini cost money ($24), while PocketIE is free.
According to

can run Firefox on your Palm Pilot, but I was unable to find any evidence of
Firefox on Windows ME.
