I caught wind of IE "6 On 6" from Windows Mobile power User.

Not exactly what I was hoping for, but it's still pretty big improvement of IE Mobile. I'm sure Opera Mobile is the prime browser for many people here, as the current IE Mobile is pretty lackluster, but I still wanted people to know about this. For me, it's worth trying, as SkyFire slows to a crawl on my Dash, and The latest version of Opera is not even compatible with it. This is what I'm really waiting for though: http://www.engadget.com/photos/is-this-windows-mobile-7/561258/
What do you think? Is Microsoft too late to make an impact or, any significance with this new version?

Silverlight is dying, Skyfire is my browser of choice when I need to see what the real page looks like. But if i am in a hurry IE works for me generally.
Never to late to make an impact have to see how it functions first. Thats all that matters.

You do realise the next IE has 2 different ways to view pages right? The can viewed in mobile or desktop mode.
