What's the Difference?

Hey Everyone,

Can someone please help me figure this out...

I was looking at trying out NETFRONT and I see that there are a few versions.

I have an HP 2215 w/ PPC 2003.

I see that NETFRONT is available in:

1. NetFront v3.1 for Pocket PC 2003 with JV-Lite2
Microbrowser NetFront v3.1 for PPC2003 supports rich functions such as Smart-Fit rendering, Multi-Window and Auto-Cruise. Java applets run with JV-Lite2 VM as Java

2. NetFront v3.1 for Pocket PC 2003
Micro browser NetFront v3.1 for Pocket PC 2003 supports rich functions specifically

3. NetFront v3.0 for Pocket PC (SH version)
Micro browser NetFront v3.0 for Pocket PC supports the latest markup languages HTML and XHTML. This embedded browser has capability of expression as same as a PC browser.


4. NetFront v3.1 for Pocket PC (StrongARM version)
Microbrowser NetFront v3.1 for PocketPC supports rich functions such as Smart-Fit rendering, Multi-Window and Auto-Cruise.


5. NetFront v3.0 for Pocket PC (MIPS version)
Micro browser NetFront v3.0 for Pocket PC supports the latest markup languages HTML and XHTML. This embedded browser has capability of expression as same as a PC browser.


FIRST... What are the DIFFERENCES in all the above versions?

What is STRONGARM? What is MIPS?

Is there a certain version that I need for my HP 2215?


Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

For your ipaq, you'll be looking between #1 and #2. If you need to browse sites with java applets then choose #1, otherwise #2 is just #1 without java capability(that's why it's less expensive).

SH, Strongarm and Mips are types of cpu used in many brands of older pocketpc, pocketpc programs need to be compiled for specific cpu. 2215 has Xscale cpu which is a newer version of arm.
