Opera 8.5 beta for Windows Mobile Pocket PC released

We don't normally rock the mobile software announcements, but we know how long, patiently, and eagerly a lot of you have been waiting for Opera to get released on Pocket PC since its release for Smartphone last summer. Well, we've got some good news for you: today the Opera 8.5 beta for Pocket PC devices hit the 'Net in all its CSS2 / JavaScript / DOM 2 rendering glory. We gave it a brief whirl on our HTC Wizard and found it to be a significant improvement over PIE (then again, what wouldn't be anymore?), especially its page formatting, load times, and having the ability to run multiple browser windows and close them completely from within the app (i.e., not needing to stop the task in the process manager).
