Version 3.0 of Handspring's Blazer web browser will be based on Access NetFront 3.0, featuring vast standards support and page display optimization for the Treo 600.
Access, a global provider of integrated data platforms and Internet access technologies for the mobile communications market, has worked with Handspring to provide the core foundation for Handspring's new Blazer 3.0 web browser. The new browser, which is based on Access' NetFront 3.0 technology, is available in Handspring's recently announced Treo 600 wireless handheld.
According to Access, its NetFront 3.0 browser core is the most widely deployed and actively used embedded web browser in the world with 92 million licenses representing 244 different consumer devices from more than 80 manufacturers. The NetFront 3.0 core powers handhelds, mobile phones, car navigation systems and other non-PC Internet devices.
Blazer 3.0 draws on technology from both Access and Handspring to optimize web pages for display on the Treo 600. The browser supports a full range of content types, including HTML 4.0, XHTML Basic and Mobile Profile, WML 1.3, cHTML (i-mode), a variety of image formats, style sheets, JavaScript and more. Also, the browser introduces new features such as saved pages, vertical and horizontal viewing modes, cross-application integration with email, phone and SMS and the ability to download ring tones, pictures, and applications over the air directly to the Treo 600.
