I was happy to find this news yesterday, which seems to have gone
unnoticed by all the tech sites I frequent:
"Opera Mobile Web Browser Now Available in Beta for Windows Mobile Pocket PC"
http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2006/01/18/
I haven't tested it much yet but it looks promising, since it uses the
same core that the desktop versions of Opera use.

I also just came across this (strangely I'd never bothered to look until now):
The Minimo (Mini Mozilla) project
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/

If you have Visual Studio you can probably download the PocketPC
emulator images from Microsoft and actually test these apps running in
a window on your Windows desktop (if you have one).
