Digia’s @Web isn’t the only Webkit-based browser available for Symbian UIQ3 touchscreen-enabled smartphones any more. Ozone is joining the party and is apparently even faster than Digia’s app.
According to Ozone folks, Engadget takes 40 seconds to load on Ozone, while @Web needs 117 seconds, and Opera Mobile 123 seconds. That’s something, right?
Feature wise, the web browser supports zooming and panning by finger, multiple windows (tabs), pop-up blocking, URL auto-complete, desktop/mobile mode switch, netscape scriptable plugin, HTML5 client-side database. As for the HTML compatibility, Ozone scored 94/100 on Acid3 test, and has a 99.8% jQuery pass rate (2 tests of 1271 failed).
Best of all, it’s free. Ozone works on all Sony Ericsson Symbian UIQ3 based smartphones and you can download it from here.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
