In the first “Best for Mobile Browsing” blog posting I got side-tracked after blogging about the Motorola A780 and the iPhone.

Apart from cellphones there are several other mobile devices which can be used for web browsing. The not-dead-yet PDA handheld is one of them. The Blazer web browser on the Palm TX has a number of fans, but I’d label it as average. Almost all Windows Mobile handhelds (previously known as Pocket PCs) like the HP iPaq 110 and HP iPaq 210 have Wi-Fi, and of course PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer). Opera for Windows Mobile was not free the last time I looked, but it was still worth buying for the improved browsing experience, with tabs. The iPaq 210 has a 4-inch, 640 by 480 pixel “VGA” touch screen display, so would be quite decent for web browsing.

Then there are the products made specifically for web browsing, as well as having a host of other features, the Nokia N800 and Nokia N810 Internet Tablets. These are still pocketable (jacket pocket not shirt pocket) mobile devices. Both have around 4-inch, 800 by 480 pixel resolution touch screens, and run a Mozilla-based browser with Ajax and Adobe Flash 9. The web browser allows zooming and full screen mode, as well as multiple browser windows.
