There is no information yet as to when Access will offer the upgraded version of NetFront for either Pocket PC or Palm OS.

Only for OEMs I am afraid ;(

Only OEM, eh... Sigh, too bad.

3.1 on my Clie has slow rendering speed... It seems to want to parse and download EVERY SINGLE BIT of the webpage (which on a Palm is pretty slow) before actually displaying it... Maybe if I turned images off...
