Like many other utilities, Bolt also has its Lite version. Don`t get disheartened with Bolt Lite as it comes with all essential features of Bolt including speedy browsing and downloading.
Bitstream Inc. is very pleased to see the success of Bolt browsers. In July last year Bolt climbed past 100 million web pages rendered. The CEO of Bitstream, Anna Magliocco-Chagnon stated during that milestone,

The first 100 million pages are always the hardest. At our current rate of usage, BOLT servers are rendering 100 million Web pages every two weeks, and that rate is accelerating. BOLT is now drawing new users faster than 1 million every month, another rate that is also accelerating. It’s extremely gratifying that after all our hard work and our dialogue with our users, we’ve built a mobile application that is highly reviewed, award-winning and popular around the world.

Today the company further publicized its statistics. It stated,

It is now used by more than 7.3 million people in over 200 countries, has also streamed more than 570 million minutes of video – equivalent to more than 1,000 years when played back to back. With its recent addition of HTML5 video support and the broadest range of Flash video support for mobile phones of all types, BOLT users are now streaming the equivalent of 15 years worth of video every single day. So far in 2010, BOLT has transferred 290 Terabytes of data, roughly equivalent to the amount of data that can be stored on 3.7 million CDs.

Coming to the features the on demand option allows users to get mails only when they want it, and the mail download size option enables them to control the size of mails, thereby saving the user’s credits. Another feature that empowers users to control their credits is the white-list option. It white-lists domains,sites or email addresses that user wants to receive mails from, and filters out all other unwanted domains, thus reducing spam and keeping the user’s inbox clean.

Although, the bolt browser since its release has been a hit among low-end mobile device users such as Nokia 5300, Nokia N-series, Sony, Motorola and other low-end mobile phones or say Non-PDAs/ non-smart phones because the features and capabilities it provides is as much as comparable to any smart phones’ browsers might have. Bolt browser displays full Web pages just as they appear on desktop computers.

Bolt as a mobile browser gives fast, secure, desktop-style web browsing on both high-end and low-end handsets along with streaming video capabilities and 23:1 compression that uses less data than competing browsers making it routinely 25 to 50 percent faster than the next fastest mobile browser in its competition such as Opera Mini, Skyfire etc.

With advanced features like the ability to stream video from the most popular video websites, copy and paste, upload files such as photos and videos to websites, and order and arrange favorites into custom folders, BOLT is also the most fully-featured mobile browser.

Built in J2ME and able to operate on phones of all types, BOLT can work on an estimated 3 billion phones already in the market. A version of BOLT created specifically for BlackBerry smartphones includes all the features of BOLT but also includes default BlackBerry shortcuts and optimizations.

Built with proprietary compression, navigation and rendering technologies, BOLT enables users to find and read information quickly and easily. Once users have navigated to the specific section of the large Web page they are viewing, they can then zoom in to display clear text and images that look crisp on even small mobile phone screens or low-end phones. Employing the Webkit 4.0 rendering and layout engine, BOLT offers users the most accurate rendering of complex Web pages available on mobile phones.

New features and enhancements to BOLT 1.5 include:

• Cache Support to speed users’ ability to move quickly back and forth between the currently and previously viewed Web pages through the use of backward and forward navigation.
• Download Manager for easy download of files directly from BOLT and the ability to save them to specific folders on the mobile phone (requires JSR75 support on the device).
• Support for Streaming Videos of Any Length that overcomes limitations on some phones’ ability to stream videos of longer lengths. The new approach ensures video clips will play on all devices, for any length video.
• Video Wizard to assist users in configuring their device for optimal video playback.
• Dedicated Search Bar on home page, for easier and faster online searches.
• Improved Ability to Manage RSS Feeds by allowing users to arrange and file feeds just as they do with their favorites and bookmarks.
• Enhancements for Touch Screen Devices such as simple volume controls for the BOLT media player which now offers volume controls on the screen.
• Enhancements for BOLT Servers in the cloud, which increase the already fast BOLT mobile browser by an additional 10 to 20 percent.

The service requires no credit card info and not even software download are necessary. You just need a Skype account, select the city where you want the “Online Number” (there are currently more than 100 options), and Ring2Skype sends that Online number to your email.

An online number is your own online personal telephone number people can call you on, but which you answer directly on your Skype. With an online number friends who aren’t using Skype can reach you by dialing your online number – you receive and answer the call in Skype no matter where in the world you are.

Although the service is still in beta mode, Ring2Skype works flawlessly and quite worthy service for off-shore offices, small businesses with global clients and even families with their love ones abroad.

Allthewhile, I am waiting to get the service for India as well !!

This innovative and patented mobile technology platform enables enterprises and organizations to increase the use of the Internet as the carrier of sensitive company information. The technology also enables companies to offer their employees, partners and suppliers new innovative and secure services. In addition administration, logistics and the cost of hardware tokens and the alike are reduced.

“Many organisations would like employees to have secure access to the company system wherever they are. The problem has been to find simple and cost effective solutions. With Accumulate’s technology companies can now provide their employees with access to information without high investments in special code boxes, scratch cards or costs of one-time codes via SMS. This though we make use of the user’s mobile as a security device for login, authentication and signing”, says Stefan Hultberg, CEO of Accumulate.

Mobile Everywhere works on all mobiles and with all mobile operators. The solution qualifies with the law as an advanced electronic signature and uses a method that in security language is called “two-factor, dual-line authentication”. External experts have examined and approved Accumulate’s technology for implementation in banking environment. Furthermore the technology gives protection against so called man-in-the-middle attacks and phishing of user ID and password.

With this technology and use of the mobile as a security device the level of security would raise whilst making usage simpler such as VPN login and login to websites with high level of security.

Mobile Everywhere for companies, examples of security solutions

• Login
• Authentication
• Signing
• Information services direct to the mobile
• Protection against man-in-the-middle attacks and phishing of ID & password

Accumulate One-Time-Ticket (OTT)

Accumulate uses a patented solution, One-Time-Ticket (OTT), for one-times codes. This is easier, more secure and more cost effective than for example OTP (one-time password) and other solutions on the market. With OTT no user information (like user ID and password) is transported or saved over the Internet, and the cost of SMS text messaging or separate security devices is saved.

ME Platform – the technology behind

The basic components of Accumulate’s ME platform are a client software which is distributed to the user’s mobile and a background sever-based transaction system. The ME platform offers 3D security and uses the mobile itself as a security device. With Accumulate’s technology actors on the market can offer cost effective secure transactions for identification and payments.

For each transaction two separate lines of communication are established – simultaneously – between the user and the server. This is done with two different communication systems, mobile phone and computer-to-computer communication via the Internet. Users use their own computer and mobile. The service provider sends and receives back encrypted information via its web server and an external transaction service.

Accumulate’s ME products function on most mobile platforms including Android, Blackberry, iPhone, Java (J2ME), Nokia Series 40/60 and Windows Mobile.
