Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) took a step closer to releasing its new mobile browser today, after releasing technical information to developers at its TechEd conference in Europe. In a blog post, the company said that Internet Explorer Mobile 6 will be available soon on new Windows Mobile devices, and will provide an experience that more closely resembles desktop browsing. Some of the features include: improved fidelity for full desktop rendering; text wrapping to accommodate a mobile screen, Flash Lite support, touch and gesture support, and multiple zoom levels.
Microsoft has been working on the browser for some time, and it couldn’t come a moment too soon. On Tuesday, Opera launched a new version of its very popular mobile browser, which among other things improved support for YouTube and allows for sharing of notes and bookmarks between cellphones and PCs. Other companies working on browsers are: SkyFire, Mozilla and maybe even Google
