I've had PDAs before, the palm kind, but I want one with WiFi and have
a specific question about Pocket PC and it's version of Internet Explorer.

How does the pocket Internet Explorer handle a 'mouse over'? On a web page, you put your pointer on something and it changes without clicking on it. Example: You have one image, then put the pointer on top of it and it changes to another image without clicking on it.

Or is it not able to do this. I had a Palm OS with a browser and it was not able to do this.

As far as I know, PPC browsers are not able to do this.
I'm not 100% certain, but if I remember how mouse-overs work, it's something that most mobile browsers can't handle very well.

P.S. If you want a Palm PDA with WiFi, look at the new LifeDrive, and if you want a PPC, I highly recommend the Dell Axim X50v (it's the device I lust for).

True. There's no mouse-over on my PocketPC

I'm trying (not very hard yet) to find out what 3D API they are using for the X50v. I'd love to write some code for it...
