Bolt just announced that their Bolt Browser has been updated to version 2.3 adding support for HTML5 audio and video which is a nice boost. With this update they now support both flash and HTML5 media giving them a media edge over RIM’s WebKit browser.
The new update to v2.3 also adds:
- New Advanced Desktop Features – Along with the ability to perfectly render Web pages as they were meant to be seen from a PC, BOLT also offers tabbed browsing, password manager, advanced downloading and uploading capabilities and now advanced inline text entry and editing allowing people to enter and edit text directly in Web page forms without opening up a separate text editing window.
- Backed up in the Cloud – BOLT 2.3’s new favorites backup feature stores a user’s bookmarks on BOLT’s servers, allowing them to be restored if a user ever needs to change phones for any reason.
- New Mobile Widgets – BOLT widgets let people using any mobile phone take part in the mobile apps revolution. Bolt 2.3′s widget gallery features weather, Wikipedia, and dictionary widgets, along with an improved Twitter widget and a brand new Facebook widget.

Great news! I am a Bolt user, though I don’t like the fact they don’t support the Storm’s SurePress technology. For us on BlackBerry 4.x and 5.x, Bolt is an amazing browser. I still wish the tabbed browsing was more like Opera or the new BlackBerry webkit browser. I find Bolt’s tab switching too difficult to use.
Kudos to the Bolt team for the enhancements.
