Embedded Mozilla refers to using components of the Mozilla browser
within other applications that you build. If you were building an
application that for whatever reason needed you to display HTML in a
window, then you could use the embedding source code of Mozilla to do
that task. This saves you the trouble of writing all that HTML parsing
and rendering code yourself.
The Mozilla Project tries to make this relatively easy to do. Look at
the example code in mozilla/embedding/tests.
If you were interested in writing a web browser for a PDA using Mozilla,
you would likely be looking at a job of pruning the large Mozilla
application down to something that would run on a PDA rather than
building an embedded app for the PDA. (Well, I suppose you could write a
fairly simple program such as the gtkEmbed example and embed Mozilla in
that for the PDA, but I suspect this is too simplistic and underpowered
a solution.)
I hope that explanation helps.
