Bitstream is releasing a new update of the BOLT mobile browser: version 2.11.  The 2.11 release includes important updates that address server response times which eliminates the problem on some websites that has caused BOLT to hang at 20 percent on the progress bar, as well as improves Twitter use.  Although there are no new features in this release, Bitstream strongly recommends all users update to this new version for an improved mobile browsing experience.

Word on the street is that version 2.0 of the Bolt BlackBerry browser is launching tomorrow morning (later this morning depending on your time zone) at the CITA wireless show in Las Vegas.

“Each new version of BOLT becomes more exciting to announce,” said Anna Magliocco-Chagnon, president and CEO of Bitstream.  “We are closely listening to our end-users through our user forum, our Twitter and Facebook pages, and their comments on blog posts and articles, and they are guiding our development roadmap in important ways.  It is this close relationship we are building with our users to which we attribute our stunning growth. BOLT added 1 million new users in the last five weeks alone.”
