We mentioned WebKit for Windows Mobile about four months ago; Wake3 was bringing the underlying Safari and S60 browser to Microsoft devices, but the beta is still in the “coming soon” stage. If you don’t want to wait, you can hit up Torch Mobile who has an actual download available now for Windows Mobile 6. Looks like my Dash is going to get some healthy exercise today, first with MSN Direct and now a WebKit browser! I just wish now that it a touchscreen.One of the interesting features I see in the Iris browser from Torch Mobile, is support for practically any input method supported on the device platform, ranging from touch to handwriting recognition and everything in between. There’s also auto-rotation, a software mouse cursor and more. I do see support for JavaScript, but not for Flash at this point. Time to go play on the Dash…(via GigaOm)
