Windows Phone Italy

This week we are talking about two new browser releases of Windows Mobile: an official version of the Mozilla Fennec (Mobile Firefox) browser for the HTC Touch Pro and an update to the Skyfire browser.

We also talk about Google Sync which allows you to sync your phone and your Google account as well as more screenshots of Windows Mobile 6.5.

While not much happened in the Windows Mobile world this week, we had two interesting pieces of browser news. The Skyfire browser was updated to include a new home screen with customizable feeds. The Skyfire browser is proxy-based and features full Flash 10 support, meaning that it can watch sites like Hulu.com and YouTube on the go.


The Mozilla Fennec (Firefox Mobile) browser that we talked about last week has released a special build of the HTC Touch Pro. It has all the same features as the previous release so there is not much to talk about in this release. The .cab file can be downloaded from the official Mozilla FTP server.

More Windows Mobile 6.5 screenshots have surfaced on PPCGeeks. Some of these we have seen before and many look like the current Windows Mobile screens but some of these shots look interesting.


Also, Google Sync was released in beta for Windows Mobile. It allows you to sync your Google calendar and contacts with your phone and your Google account. It is free to use and more information and a download link can be found here.
