The most modern browser there is: Internet Explorer 9 reviewed

That's kind of a silly criticism. The mobile versions of all the major browsers are basically only the rendering engine stuck into a mobile shell. At that point, Safari and Chrome are both based on Webkit, and as such they are practically the same browser.

And anyway, it probably won't be long until Windows Phone 7 gets a Trident refresh from IE9.

So why hasn't MS done that with IE9 then? Why can't we have IE9's rendering engine on a mobile platform? From what I hear, that would be a significant improvement over the IE7/8 combo that they're shipping right now.

I'll take a bet on that. $10 says it'll be 2012 before that happens.

They've already announced that IE9 will be available on WP7 later this year.

I'm still willing to bet. :)
