Well this may be starting to get a little off-topic, but I had a version
of IESAMPLE (provided by the PDA manufacturer) that ran on CE.NET 4.1 -
it doesn't run under PPC 2003. We've been unable to simply recompile,
there seem to be components required that aren't/weren't distributed with
the device's SDK. I admit this may be my lack of understanding, but I ran
into a brick wall early on and then started looking both for alternative
browsers and also to understand what the differences between the two
(CE.NET 4.1 and PPC 2003, that is) are.
pocket Internet Explorer has been improved tremendously, but it only has
support for the IE 3.02 DOM and our application expects to have the IE 5
DOM so this isn't a solution unless we rework our server application.
