Bolt Browser Updated to Beta2

Makers of the Bolt browser, Bitstream, have announced an updated version of the browser this week at CTIA. Tons of updates have been built-in, thanks to feedback from beta testers all over the globe. The new version brings the app to Beta2. Key new features:

• Significantly improved BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) scrolling speed and control
• A new 3XL (extra large) magnification mode with content 33.3 percent bigger than in 2XL
• Double tap approach to select links on touchscreen devices like the BlackBerry storm (eliminates inadvertent clicks)
• Wi-Fi auto-selection as default option when Wi-Fi is both enabled and available
• Save and view pages locally on the phone
• Support for folders in favorites
• A new landscape viewing feature
• Improved magnifier dragging in split screen mode on the BlackBerry Storm

Enhancements in Bolt Beta2 based on feedback from beta users:

• Improved video quality on mpeg4 capable devices
• Improved scrolling speed on image-rich pages
• A user preferences page to reduce menu clutter, especially useful on BlackBerry smartphones where the native menu structure, without sub-menus, is utilized
