MultiIE 2.0 was a great product. You could open multiple pages in Pocket Internet Explorer, do full-screen browsing, and more. Unfortunately, it didn't work with Windows Mobile 2003.

Well, the new MultiIE 3.0 is out, and it rocks! Here's a list of the new features (click the Source link for a list of all features):

* Open windows in background
* Tabbed window toolbar (tabbed browsing!)
* Page loading status on window list/tabs
* Page loaded sound / go to window
* Enhanced GO button menu
(Use address text for web searches, etc)
* Quick URL builder menu
(Never type http://www.com again!)
* Screen drag with stylus
* Quick full screen toggle button
(Triangular button in bottom right of screen)
* Keep backlight on
* Screen rotation without rebooting
(requires NYDITOT Virtual Display)
* Dynamically optimise page for PDA
(requires Skweezer)
* Save images
* Scroll screen line by line
* Set image as today background
* Open blank new window from menu
* View image comment text
* Auto hide address bar in full screen
* Close window button (Windows Mobile 2003 only)
* Common IE related registry tweaks

The best news is that the upgrade is currently FREE for previous users.

About the only thing it doesn't have that I'd like is a Search capability. I can view the source and search there, but that's inconvenient and doesn't show the formatted page.

I think this is an awesome upgrade. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the discussion.

Thanks for pointing that out. I read about potential problems with the 4150, but forgot to mention them. I wonder why it would crash on that, but not on other WM 2K3 Pocket PCs.... Do you have a 4150 that you've tried it on?

I'm using MultiIE 3.0 on my iPAQ 3870, where it works well so far, but I can't vouch for it on any other platform.

yep, it crashed on my 4150, but works fine on my 5550. However, Peter is aware of the issue, and is already trying out a beta to solve this. I am sure he'll come up with a solution soon.
