The buzz on Windows Mobile is all about Opera and their latest version. However there is yet another option besides Internet Explorer and Opera, it’s Minimo. Thats Mini Mozilla folks and renders like its big brother only smaller. It is still puzzling why they did not name this Firefox for Windows Mobile, however that is basically what Minimo is.

I had had a few issues installing Minimo on my Treo 700wx but after a cold restart (removing battery) it rebooted and was properly configured. Many webpages were rendered not just smaller but easier to read also, which makes sense because you can render a webpage just like its PC cousin but if you cannot read the type it is useless. Rendering seems to be speedy and painless although just like Firefox you have to wait a bit at launch but this is a small price to pay to have a usable browser on my Treo.

Seems to be that Mozilla is trying much harder to capture this market and Minimo may have something worth using. I will be using Minimo as my primary browser for a couple weeks and I will report back as to it’s usability. So far notable coolness is Tabs, Java, RSS, and Widgets.
