Novarra is out with the new version of their mobile web browser – Vision Browser 8.0. Of course, the idea is to reach mass market, hence they’re pitching their offering to operators and device manufacturers, primarily.
Like that’s the case with some other mobile web browsers like Skyfire and Bolt, Vision Browser provides full, rich web browsing, widgets, and streaming video on both feature and smart phones. The browsing is done through proxy, hence Novarra can provide operators with analytics and reporting tools, so they could understand customer behavior.
To sum things up, the Vision Browser 8.0 features include:
- Seven user viewing options including Snapshot, Slideshow, PC magnifier, pan and zoom, as well as personal password manager and other usability enhancements
- “Touch-to-focus” for touch screens, enhanced fonts and content prioritization enhancements for easy viewing and navigation
- Embedded widget runtime engine and icon-based on-device portal for app store UI and next generation services
- SSL handling for secure site access and transactions
- Expanded multimedia, Flash and streaming video support

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.
