I've been playing with it today... it's pretty nice overall. Occasionally the "fit to screen" option makes the page look like crap and unreadable so you'll have to uncheck the option. You'll have to scroll left/right to read the whole thing but it does a nice job rendering.

unless im doing something wrong, but the ppc doesnt give me an option to save the file, it just downloads it and then its all gibberishy

Not sure if there are any differences between this version and the version preinstalled on the Sharp W-ZERO3 pocket pc. It shouldn't be since it's both version 8.5. The Sharp version is a full version.

I like the fact you can zoom out from pages. It seems like unchecking "fit to screen" and zooming out to 75% gives a nice display for the sites I like.

Digging it, but I still can't get it to load wm video embedded in web pages on mlb.com. Can anyone help me with this? Opera gets closer than PIE or minimo -- it opens the page with the embedded video, but nothing plays. Please help!

What I'm noticing, and tell me if others sees this too, that PIE seems to render compressed images better when using the one column option for both Opera and PIE. I think the advantage Opera has over PIE is the multiple windows built in. I have the SPB PocketPlus, which counters it. I may end up sticking to PIE + Pocket PLus over Opera.

Also, I can't seem to stream Orb via Opera, but can do so w/ PIE.

Oh also, Opera won't return to full screen after you tap the soft key to access menus. PIE will return to full screen automatically
