The biggest shortcoming of Pocket IE is the lack of JavaScript (Java?) support. This affects the functionality of a lot of transaction-based websites (Yahoo Mail, GMail for two) as well as preventing me from logging into my company's web-based email and timecard system from my PocketPC. I'll have to look at the other options you've mentioned.
