I have downloaded the new emulator images [1] and I’m really impressed that the IE6 render engine [2] really fits in such a small device. I have created some screenshots below.
All Web sites look very similar to the desktop version of Internet Explorer. Most AJAX enabled pages are working, on some Web sites I got JavaScript errors, well, they are not working on desktop IE6, too.
As user-agent the new Web browser is using Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) in desktop mode and Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; IEMobile 8.12; MSIEMobile 6.0) when using the mobile view. Seems that IEMobile 8.12 indicates the JScript engine from upcoming IE8 and MSIEMobile 6.0 shows the HTML render engine version.
And yes, Ajax.NET Professional [3], of course, is working, too. Silverlight for Windows Mobile is not yet included.
