Ozone Web Browser for S60 3rd Ed
First Alpha Version Available for Download!

WOW, this is something I’ve been waiting for! The Guys from Ozone, THE best Web Browser for UIQ devices has been ported for S60 3rd Edition finally and is now ready to download!!

Ozone is a world-class mobile browser that offers great performance and outstanding mobile browsing experience for Symbian devices based on the SE UIQ and now Nokia S60 platform.

Ozone's unique features make it one of the best in its class. From the open-source WebKit engine, it not only delivers advanced features such as client-side database support, zooming, tapping and multiple windows, but Ozone also provides the best web-standards compliant experience that's available.

By the users reports and feedback browser is surprising stabile for the early alpha version and better than the Opera Mobile and Digia @web and it is definitely something that I would like to see ported to S60 5th edition as soon as possible!
