The second generation of the BOLT mobile browser is now available. This browser we have named as our top best coolest apps for BlackBerry and J2ME phones.

BOLT 2.1 marks the completion of beta testing on the most fully featured browser available for mobile phones of all types. Among BOLT 2.1's new features are tighter integration with Facebook, support for HTML5 video and several new Flash video streaming websites.

BOLT 2.1's advanced integration with Facebook- by far the most
popular domain visited by BOLT users around the world - includes the
ability to use Facebook's instant messaging service and to seamlessly
copy text or links and post them to a Facebook account directly from
within the BOLT browser.

The most important new feature of BOLT 2.1 is tabbed browsing -
giving people the ability to simultaneously browse multiple websites and
easily switch between them - this functionality was a top request from
BOLT users.

With BOLT 2.1, Bitstream has expanded streaming video support to
include mtv.com, nick.com, bbc.co.uk (UK), maniatv.com, svtplay.se
(Sweden), hungama.com (India) and bollywoodhungama.com (India).
Additional notable upgrades in BOLT 2.1 include a faster widget gallery
with updated user interface and a server upgrade to WebKit 4.03, keeping
BOLT up-to-date with the latest web standards.

The BOLT mobile browser is engineered to run on mobile phones of all
types. BOLT is the only major WebKit-based cloud computing browser and
is built to deliver a PC-like browsing experience on mobile phones. Its
small package, easy integration and comprehensive feature set make it
ideal for handset manufacturers and mobile network operators to offer
the best possible Internet experience for users of the widest range of
mobile device categories.
