“Bolt” browser for Blackberry gets pretty hefty update.
Wednesday, April 1, 2009 13:00Blackberry users who live on the mobile web I have some good news. CTIA is bringing to us an announcement from the Bolt developers of a nice fat update, especially for Blackberry Storm users. The list of updates:
- Greatly improved scrolling speed and control
- A new 3XL (extra large) magnification mode with content 33.3 percent bigger than in 2XL for all of those Crackberry users with less than stellar eye sight.
- Double tap approach to select links on touchscreen devices like the BlackBerry storm (no more needless clicking)
- Auto-selection of WiFi when it is on and enabled
- Now save and view pages locally on the phone (+1)
- Support for folders in favorites
- New landscape viewing mode
- Improved magnifier dragging in split screen mode on the BlackBerry Storm
BOLT Beta2 users don’t feel left out as you also got some update love:
- Improved video quality on mpeg4 capable devices
- Improved scrolling speed on graphic heavy pages
- A user preferences page to reduce menu clutter, useful on BlackBerry smartphones whose native menu structure, without sub-menus, is utilized
Clearly a large update worth downloading. If you haven’t picked up the Bolt browser yet, I highly suggest you give it a try as it can truly change your mobile browsing experience. If you’re still reading, you can get your update here.
