New Features Adapted for Concept Version of NetFront Browser v3.5 for Windows Mobile
Bundling its many new features and improved user interface, the concept version of NetFront Browser v3.5 for Windows Mobile enables users to maximize the functionality of their Windows Mobile devices with stylus pen for a full Internet experience.

Column Rendering
When viewing content in the previous desktop mode, text often exceeded the screen width, requiring repeated use of the scroll bar. This issue has been resolved, and functionality has been dramatically improved.
- Text content (or news) is rendered to fit the width of the screen using a line break function
- Column Rendering renders almost exactly what you would see on a PC while also supporting vertical scrolling
