Bolt mobile browser

Bitstream announced that its Bolt mobile browser will get widgets support in the upcoming version 1.7. From what we’ve heard, widgets will work inside the browser and will be accessible via a new widgets menu. Similar thing was offered via Opera Mobile back in the days of Symbian UIQ.

Bolt already supports JavaScript and some other web-based languages, and the widgets engine will do that as well. The release is scheduled for February 15th, when a small set of widgets will be launched alongside the Bolt 1.7.
