One of the best value propositions, for upgrading to Windows CE or Windows Mobile handheld
devices is the multi-application versatility and graphical user interface. The devices provide a

terminal emulation sessions in any combination. Now a user can have both terminal emulation
and web applications together within a single application. You get the application features,
access control, and peripheral support of Naurtech emulators for your web based application.

• Operating System Lockout. The address and navigation bars are inaccessible within the
HTML browser sessions. The application may be configured to prevent users from exiting the
application, launching any other application, or browsing to unauthorized websites. This locks
down the device completely.
• SIP Control. The Soft Input Panel (SIP) popup can be fully controlled.
• Tab Key. Within Pocket IE, you are not able to use the Tab key to jump from one input field

the current field. This results in compromised usability. The Naurtech browser fully supports
