What makes Windows Mobile 6.1 fun: Internet Explorer (Part IV).

Internet Explorer Mobile has two new functionalities. While these new additions do improve IE usability, it still does not catch-up with competing browsers. But Microsoft has announced a complete overhaul of the software which should be released later this year.

The first visible change is the Zoom out softkey. It is very useful when trying to navigate to a specific section of a large webpage.

Internet Explorer Mobile allows you to copy/paste text from websites to a document for example. To do that, open Internet Explorer and access any website and click Menu - Copy/paste - Select Text. Place your cursor before the text you want to select and press the select softkey. Use the D-pad to highlight your text and press the Copy softkey. This is quite a lot of clicks for such a simple process. I assume this must be a lot easier on a touch screen device.
