Nokia WebKit Browser

The Russian site Mobile-Review reviews Nokia's second version of their WebKit web browser (which was derived from WebCore/KHTML). This new unreleased-yet version offers WML support, opening links in new windows, display rotation, saving of any image, password manager, offline browsing, ATOM feed support, FlashLite 2.0 (no, this has no YouTube or other fancy Flash support) and much more. The first smartphones to offer WebKit's 2.0 browser will be the Nokia 6290 and N95 (which they will be running the new Symbian S60 3.1 version) that are scheduled to be released around April '07. If we were allowed for our own share of speculation, we would say that Apple's and Google's upcoming phones will be using a port of this open source browser too.

Devices running off S60 3dEditionFeaturePack 1 utilize OSS-browser ver. 2.0, which retains a whole lot of differences from the first edition, so this is why we are now extending the article with some new chapters. If this is the first time you read this review, then you should start with the very beginning, in case you have already looked through it or have a good idea what the first version was, then move on straight to the close-up of the second version.
