Just got an HP iPaq with Wondows Mobile and am being asked to upgrade.
It says that IE, Firefox and Opera are recommended.
I'm used to IE, but the whole palm thing is new to me, so I'm open to suggestions.
Any recommendations and why?
Thanks in advance.

Firefox would most likely be the best choice.
What improvements does Firefox offer?
Firefox, which is available as a free download from mozilla.org, supports Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Some of Firefox's improvements include the following:
* You can easily suppress images you don't want for faster page downloads. (Yes, kill those flash plug-ins you don't want to see.)
* Tabbed browsing lets you open a new browser window as a tab in the current window, taking up less desktop real estate.
* Pop-up window controls let you disable those pop-up ads you get all the time in Explorer.
* The cookie manager is somewhat similar to Explorer's.
* The download manager organizes downloads and provides a nice history compared with Explorer.
Firefox also provides all the customization, preferences, security settings and other features you're used to in Internet Explorer. And remember, it runs on Linux and other operating systems where Explorer doesn't. I think Linux will be a big hit in the next few years in iSeries shops, and this might be another reason to make the switch.

I'd recommend Firefox as it's open source. This basically means that a huge community of programmers are constantly on the watch for bugs and security issues. If you come across one, you can submit it to the bugzilla site on Firefox or you can fix it yourself if you know c++.

You only need to do a search on here to see how many people are having problems with IE7. The best thing to do is download Mozilla Firefox available from http://www.mozilla.com/ Its faster, more user friendly, easily customisable to suit your needs and no problems.

Go for Opera. It's tried and tested on PDAs and is the best out of the box solution and is both fast and secure.
Good luck!
