Bitstream's Bolt Web Browser Moves into Public Beta

Bitstream had some unintended success with a limited beta of its Java-based web browser Bolt, and is now releasing it as a completely open beta for mobile users.

Bolt uses code based on a popular Windows Mobile browser, Thunderhawk, and further refines it to being suitable for nearly any mobile device.

Some of the features include:

• Streaming Flash video capabilities
• WebKit rendering engine offers high standards compliance
• Support for XML, ATOM and RDF formats of RSS feeds
• Support for JavaScript and AJAX
• Split screen and full screen modes for easy navigation and viewing
• Intuitive keystroke shortcuts for easier navigation and content selection
• 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption for secure access to web pages
• Server filtering to protect users from spyware and other malware
• Certificate error notification
• Favorites and view browsing history
• Ability to clear history and cookies

Bolt is a Java-based application and is compatible with nearly any mobile device with a wireless data connection. For more information, and to download the free beta, visit the Bolt Browser website.
