Browser for Handheld PC.....

No, but if they support core devices rather than PocketPC it'll open them up to the world of navigation units too, which is a desirable marketplace. Agreed they're unlikely to target below CE.net 4, but if we can get 'em working with 4.1 and not requiring PocketPC platform stuff then that is a step in the right direction!

Agree with chiark...

There are plenty of other embedded systems based on a CE .NET core and if they go for PPC they will not only exclude us poor HPC users but many millions of systems that could potentially use and/or include firefox.

if they support 4.2, redgear will do the rest for hpc2000

so get them to support cenet 4.2.

what's the current status of RedGear?

In response to this question, see RedGear Development Status for more information, including a demonstration video.

Cool. But the Redgear does not necessarily have much connection with my project actually, because I want a decent browser for Handheld PC Pro, not Handheld PC 2000.

H/PC 2000 is as decent as it gets in my opinion, even if others disagree.
