We have spotted a new and promising web browser for Symbian and Maemo mobile devices.

The browser engine on which Digia @Web is based on supports HTML 4.01. Some more features of the browser engine are:

• True web page rendering.
• JavaScript(tm) 1.5.
• HTTP 1.1 with support for secure and non-secure browsing.
• HTTP cache and cookies.
• AJAX support.

• Netscape compatible Plug-in interface.

The current list of mobile devices that this browser supports include Nokia 5230, Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic, Nokia 5530 Xpressmusic, Nokia N97 ^[1], Nokia N97 ^[1] mini, Nokia X6, Sony Ericsson Satio and Samsung i8910 HD.

While there is a very strong competition between mobile browsers in the market, Opera seems to be a clear winner for now. Previously, we had covered the   Opera mobile ^[3] in detail. We have also covered the much awaited “Fennec” browser from Mozilla Firefox ^[4], which seems to be a strong competitor to Opera for now.
