PocketBrowser for Windows CE 4.2

The Symbol PocketBrowser takes the core components of Microsoft's Pocket IE and wraps them into an application that suits the Symbol Pocket PC terminals and fulfils more of the customer's requirements.

Simply, the Symbol PocketBrowser blocks the end user from the operating system, exposes the full real estate of the Pocket PC's screen to the Web application designer and harnesses the Symbol unique features, adding more value to the terminal over the competition.

The Symbol PocketBrowser completely locks the user out of the operating system (unless explicitly specified by the designer). Removes the address bar and navigation bar, normally visible in Pocket IE. Disables and hides the "Start" bar, so the user cannot select other applications, such as Solitaire.

A designer can include the "Quit" META tag on a page. When this page is loaded, the application will exit. This page could be placed on a secure link, allowing an authorized administrator access to the OS.

Unlike Pocket IE, the Symbol PocketBrowser allows a designer to control when the SIP (standard input panel or soft keyboard) should appear, providing a more professional 'look-and-feel' when combined with other features such as the barcode scanner.

The barcode scanner can be configured to output the scanned data as keyboard presses or pass the data to a JavaScript function. Symbologies can be configured on a page-by-page basis exposing the full functionality of the scanner engine.
