        Access has revised its browser for mobile phones, PDAs, set-top boxes, digital TVs, automotive telematics systems, and other Internet devices. NetFront v3.3 features enhanced DHTML support, frame handling, pop-up blocking, and RSS (really simple syndication), as well as support for Atom Feed, international domains, encryption, and...

        Access claims NetFront has 150 million deployments in 342 unique devices from 90 manufacturers, making it perhaps the world's most ubiquitous embedded browser. It supports Windows Mobile, Linux, Palm, Symbian, BREW, and other embedded operating systems.

        The NetFront browser was the winner in the "Browsers and Web Utilities" category of Pocket PC Magazine's Best Software Awards 2004 competition.

        According to Access, the new version continues to support WAP 2.0, WML, HTML 4.01, and cHTML. It also includes Rapid-Renderer, Smart-Fit Rendering, and integrated support for Adobe's PDF Reader, a unique feature among mobile browsers, Access says.

        CEO Toru Arakawa said, "NetFront v3.3 provides our customers throughout the world with a distinct market advantage [and] end-users with a better Internet experience."

        In addition to the NetFront browser, Access markets an application stack and a UI SDK for mobile devices.
