During CTIA, Ed Hardy from Brighthand had his first contact with yesterday's announced Internet Explorer Mobile 6, which follows also yesterday's announced Windows Mobile 6.1 later this year and he recorded a quite interesting video where the new browser (currently in Beta) was demonstrated.
While Windows Mobile 6.1's Internet Explorer Mobile was slightly refreshed by adding a zoom in/zoom out functionality to make use of larger, PC optimized web pages easier, the big shot comes later this year with Internet Explorer Mobile 6, which will supports - out of the box - established and upcoming industry standards such as H.264, Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight, the updated Internet Explorer Mobile gives people a rich mobile Internet experience:

It's not yet announced how Microsoft's new Internet Explorer Mobile 6 will be distributed, if as part of ODMs only or as standalone downloadable updates.
