Pocket IE (Internet Explorer) on Windows Mobile 2003 Supports CSS !

[Master Kwesi Nkromah]

I don't know if any of you truly find this intresting or exciting but I do. It seems that Microsoft does recognize 3W's standards and CSS because it's supported in their IE POCKET package!

Not many people know this, due to the complete lack of information in the Windows Mobile 2003 SDK, but Pocket IE on Windows Mobile 2003 devices DOES support CSS!

... and this information refers to both Windows Mobile 2003 platforms: Microsoft Smartphone and Pocket PC! More details:

Pocket IE on Windows Mobile 2003 supports CSS Mobile Profile plus a few additional CSS1 and CSS2 attributes to make your mobile web authoring easier than ever before.

In addition, it also supports methods to select CSS stylesheets for mobile devices (i.e. @import, @media, <LINK MEDIA> and <?xml-stylesheet media>)

I'm not much of a mobile developer but it's exciting because if they can support the standards for a mobile device, maybe they'll consider supporting standards for other products. Heh, I'm not letting my self get to worked-up over this. Microsoft has a tendency of letting me down?
