Skyfire 1.5 Brings More Speed, Less Ugly
Love that Skyfire can play any Flash videos, and optimize websites to load incredibly fast, but hate that it kind of looks like ass in the process? So does Skyfire! Which is why they've released version 1.5 for Windows Mobile. More »Dolphin Browser Gives Droid the Multitouch It Should've Had From the Start
As far as phones go, the Droid is an olympian. A supermodel. A movie star. But without multitouch, it's a movie star with rickets, and awkward inflection. That is: mildly disappointing! That's where the Dolphin browser comes in. More »RIM Is Definitely Developing a WebKit (Read: Decent) Browser
It wasn't a huge leap to take RIM's purchase of Torch Mobile, a software company known exclusively for making a WebKit mobile browser, as a sign that the company was considering taking the dive. Today, though, we can be sure. More »All WebKit Browsers Are Not Created Equal
It's behind some of the best desktop browsers, and all of the great mobile ones. But just because a company says they're using WebKit, the open source website rendering engine, doesn't guarantee an awesome browser. More »Opera Mini 5 Beta Out Now: Tabbed Browsing, Speed Dial Bookmarks
Unlike Opera Mobile, Opera Mini crunches pages on a server for viewing on your Java phone or BlackBerry. The beta has a snappier interface geared for touch or keypad control, and adds tabbed browsing, speed dial, and a password manager. More »RIM Gobbles Up Torch Mobile (Translation: BlackBerry's Getting WebKit, Thank God)
Another mobile software maker has fallen for the seductive charms of WebKit, and it's a biggie: RIM has acquired Torch Mobile—the company that makes the WebKit-based Iris browser—to "contribute to the BlackBerry platform." So long, asstastic BlackBerry browser. More »Firefox Mobile "Fennec" Now Open to All Brave WinMo Alpha Testers
Skyfire Leaves Beta, Steals Windows Mobile Browsing Crown
Skyfire, the server-compressed mobile browser that promises "the full web," i.e. Flash support, on Windows Mobile and Symbian phones, has graduated from its excruciatingly long testing period. In a word, it's great. More »Skyfire Coming to BlackBerry, Bringing Full Flash Support
Opera Mobile 9.7 to Support Flash, Google Gears, Server-Side Compression
Despite being the obvious choice for WinMo browsing, Opera Mobile 9.5 is far from perfect. That said, the next release, due in a few months, might even put the likes of Mobile Safari to shame. More »Firefox Mobile Pre-Alpha Now Available for VGA Windows Mobile Phones
Just as Mozilla's developer wiki cryptically promised last week, a pre-alpha build of Firefox Mobile 'Fennec' has been made available for the HTC Touch Pro, though it'll work on many other VGA (480x640) WinMo phones. More »Opera Mini For Android Leaves Beta, Fixes Nagging Bugs
Opera Mini's final release addresses most of the problems we found in our beta test, and is available now in the 'Communications' category of the Android Market. More »Firefox Mobile Headed for Windows Mobile as Early as Next Week
Adorably-mascotted Firefox Mobile 'Fennec' is on its way to an early February release for the Windows Mobile-powered HTC Touch Pro, according to a post on the project's developer wiki. More »Java-based Bolt Joining the Mobile Browser Wars, Doesn't Look Horrible
Bitstream is working on a mobile browser called Bolt, based on WebKit and compatible with pretty much any J2ME-compatible handset (read: almost everything). CrackBerry ran it through its paces, and it looks promising. More »Apple Hit With Bizarre, Poorly Scanned iPhone Browsing Patent Suit
Hands On: Opera Mini 4.2 Beta For Android
It didn't take long for Android's built-in WebKit browser (that performed well in our recent mobile browser Battlemodo) to see a little competion in the form of Opera Mini 4.2—the ubiquitous and lightweight software that's installable in some form on just about every mobile platform that can run Java apps. A beta version was released for Android today, and we put it through a quick test. More »Mobile Browser Battlemodo: Which Phones Deliver The Real Web
Internet Explorer Mobile 6 Available in Free Emulator (Verdict: Not Horrible)
Not content to sit still while Opera and Skyfire kick its ass in the Windows Mobile browser space, Microsoft is previewing Internet Explorer Mobile 6, the next version of the notoriously rendering-impaired mobile browser, through a downloadable emulator. The addition of a "desktop" mode is promising, as is the fact that it appears to correctly render MSNBC's javascript-rich homepage, something with Mobile IE5 couldn't dream of doing. It's probably reasonable to expect IE6 to make an appearance in Windows Mobile 6.5, but XP and Vista users can test it now, right here. UPDATE: Impressions and feature list after the jump.
