Newly launched mobile browsing software, BOLT has been made more faster and better claims Bitstream, the company which has developed the browser. The new enhancement marks the beta3 version of the browser.

New features included in the updated version include ability to quickly copy and paste text from web pages, enhanced font rendering, inline entry of text into online forms and support for languages using Cyrillic alphabets.

Users can also upload files to YouTube and arrange favourites into custom folders.

Based on beta user input after more than one million installs of the BOLT mobile browser, Bitstream added new features that make BOLT the most fully-featured browser for the widest range of mobile phones.

Bitstream also has come up with a online forum at http://boltbrowser.com/forums to allow BOLT users to post questions as well as participate in public conversation with these being monitored by BOLT’s technologists.

Enhancements have also been made to rendering changes involving bold, italics, superscript and other rich text styles, rendering of web pages, faster page rendering and server upgraded to WebKit 4. Further, BOLT lite will be offered to those users with a phone not supporting robust applications.

“Bitstream expects BOLT to become very popular in Eastern Europe where many countries have mobile penetration rates exceeding 100 percent,” said Anna Chagnon, president and CEO of Bitstream.  “We specifically engineered BOLT to make it easy for people to use their mobile phones for social networking, searching, communicating and watching videos.  Our users have validated our design, making Google, Orkut, Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo Mail and YouTube the top sites viewed on BOLT.”
