Truth be told, most people are not able to go a day without getting on the Internet; whether at home or on the run. Mobile Internet started with the laptop; great inventions in its own standing, but most laptops are still too big and unable to just flip into a back pocket.
Fortunately for the generation now, many companies have designed cell phones that are capable of connecting to the Internet. The downfall? The cell phones don’t always give us the best Internet experience (unless an iPhone is involved). So until a customized cell phone is built specifically for mobile browsing, there are many mini browser apps out there for us to use.
Opera Mini Is One Option
This is a popular mini browser, with almost 20 million users, it’s guaranteed to have a good reason for being so popular. One reason to its possible success is the simple fact it’s included in most cell phones this days.
Opera Mini is incredibly fast with a superb compression that has the ability to play videos on-line. This app is available to download for free either directly from cell phones or from the Opera Mini Download screen.
A veteran among mini web browsers, it is most popular in China, and is currently available to download for free from Java. Built almost like a traditional browser, UCWEB is rather noticeable for their features of tab-able browsing and password managers.
Some other added features that UCWEB has to offer as a mini browser is the special e-mail service that can run with any on-line mailboxes (Yahoo!, Google+, and more). There is also the ability to synchronize PC, phone, and web browser favorites to ones cell phone, like a personal data secretary.
The developers took a bold step in making this mini browser function in only one format, (Java MIDP 2.0) because the browser is now capable of working on any brand of cell phone. It shares some similar features as UCWEB, such as the tab-able browsing with a full screen browsing function.
Teashark has a very clean, easy to use start-up page and can also offer recommended URLs based on previous searches or web visits. There is a slight downfall to the Teashark, however, and that’s the fact that there is no auto-connect ability when the phone is turned on. Users have to continually select the network each time they start mobile Internet.
Surfing On Mobile Is Easy
While still in the testing procedures, it is only available for select mobile Internet devices (it is however available for home computers; so it can be tested before being used on a mobile device). Fennec has come up with great features including a “smart” URL that has a built-in web search browser that can be used with any search engines. One of the greater things is the built-in pop-up blocker; great for mobile devices so the Internet won’t lock up ones phone.
While the thought of using something other as an iPhone for mobile Internet browsing seems a little intimidating, it is possible. These mini web browsers are just a few of some great ones out there, so experimenting with the named mini browsers above is never a bad thing. Keep an open mind and a proper functioning phone, and all will be well.
