One of the new entrants into the mobile browsing domain, BOLT today claimed to have registered its 100 million page view within six months of its launch. The company additionally claims to be recording 1.4 million page views daily.
“There is no argument that the Internet is an essential part of peoples’ daily lives,” said Anna Chagnon, Bitstream’s president and CEO. “However a problem with the vast majority of mobile phones is that while they are capable of Internet access, they don’t possess browsers that display websites properly. Most websites are designed solely with PC viewing in mind, and even with billions of Internet-capable phones in use, a great many of the most popular websites still don’t have mobile companion websites. Of those that do, many lack the full functionality or features that people have come to expect when accessing them from their PCs. We believe the fact that BOLT was installed more than one million times in just the first four months since its launch is proof of the market’s desire to bridge this gap between the World Wide Web and mobile platforms.”
BOLT claims that its browser is 25-30 times faster than competing products and the browser allows ultra-fast viewing of streaming and flash video, high standards compliance, rich media and graphics giving almost a PC like experience to end-users.
BOLT also a version for low-end handsets thereby expanding its addressable market and reach. |
