Mobile Web Browsers: Opera Mini, Skyfire,Opera Mobile, Bolt Browser
There is no question that today’s smartphones are a godsent to high-tech travelers. But what good is a Web-enabled phone if its browser is cumbersome or slow? With the right handset and mobile web browser software, you can surf all manner of desktop-şevel sites, without having to carry a laptop with you or find a nearby desktop PC. Here are the best picks for the best of the mobile web browsers on market.
Skyfire mobile web browser is one of the most feature rich mobile web browser out there. Skyfire mobile web browser has a capability to display Flash, Silverlight, and AJAX content that the iPhone trips over and leaves blank. Skyfire mobile web browser starts up quickly and the main screen leaves plenty of place for the page display. And Windows Mobile fans struggling with IE Mobile should head straight for Skyfire Labs. Skyfire mobile web browser also works on Symbian powered Nokie-E and Nokia-N series smartphones.
BlackBerrys can run Java apps out of the box. While newer models already come with a halfway-decent browser, the Java capability means today’s Curves, Pearls, and 8080s are prime candidates for Opera Mini mobile web browser. The latest version of Opera Mini mobile web browser supports Rss feeds and is a cinch to navigate, though it lacks Skyfire mobile web browser’s Falsh, Silverlight and AJAX compatibility. Also need to mention that video streaming works well with latest version of Opera Mini mobile web browser.
Bitstreams’s Bolt mobile browser eschews the last ounce of page accuracy by replacing web fonts with its own. This means that many web sites that are usually off-limits on a cell phone come through crisp and clear. It’s a great option for BlackBerrys. Bolt mobile web browser has a nifty split-screen mode and supports 128-bit SSL encrypted web sites.
Finally, Opera continues to refine its powerful Windows Mobile Web browser Opera Mobile. The trick at this point is waiting for cell phone data radios and touch screen response to catch up.
