Dolphin Browser HD for Android 2.0+
by Chaz on May.09, 2010, under Android, Smartphones, Software
I just found this via an AppBrain recommendation but Dolphin Browser HD seems like a very capable browser for Android!
It has some nice features such as:
- Versatile Add-ons
- Multi-touch Pinch Zoom
- Thumbnails Flick Menu
- Tabbed Browsing
- YouTube Downloader
- Gesture URL Commander
- Bookmarks Sorting
I’m going to spend some time with it and see if it is worth changing from the default browser to Dolphin. If you want to try it out or for more info, check the link below!

Opera Mini 5 released on Android Market.
by Chaz on Mar.11, 2010, under Android, Software
Today Opera released Opera Mini 5 on the Android Market. Initial impressions from me are, it’s FAST! The compression done by Opera’s servers make pages render on your handset very quickly, even on a GPRS connection.
Engadget have posted a brief but nice little review of it here and seem just as impressed with its speed. If you’re an Android user, give it a spin! It’s free afterall!

RIM have shown a new Webkit based browser at the Mobile World Congress which is coming to the Blackbery platform.
This should give BlackBerry owners a better browsing experience than they have now.
Opera to show sneak peak of Opera Mobile on iPhone at Mobile World Congress.

Opera have announced that they are going to preview an iPhone version of its mobile browser at Mobile World Congress (MWC) this month.
Opera Software, maker of the world’s most popular mobile Web browser, plans to reveal Opera Mini for iPhone in an exclusive press and partner preview during the 2010 Mobile World Congress (MWC)
If the application will be submitted to Apple for release on the app store or if it will get rejected is unknown at this point but it’s interesting to see that Opera have taken the effort to release develop the app on the iPhone.
Hopefully, an Android version will be released as I used to love Opera Mobile on Symbian and would like to try it again on my Nexus One.
