TeaShark Webkit-Based Browser Released

By The Guru on March 25, 2008

Opera Mini has long been the undisputed champion of java-based web browsers bringing the ‘desktop web’ to your mobile handset. However, there’s a new fish in the sea, and this one’s hungry for S60 users. The TeaShark web browser has been released to the wild, and, despite being java, it’s actually pretty good.

TeaShark is based on Webkit, the same as the latest S60v3 web browser, and the iPhone’s mobile Safari. TeaShark is similar to Opera Mini in that it passes the data through a server to cut down on the data costs, and also speed things up quite a bit. TeaShark has a large helping of neat features, as well, such as tabbed browsing, with a small thumbnail preview of each page, as well as a handy autocomplete feature.

TeaShark also features an online bookmark manager that you can access from your desktop browser, making it super-easy to get your favorite pages easily on your mobile browser. You can download TeaShark for yourself at http://wap.teashark.com (they REALLY need to fix that with an m-dot URL. WAP is a dirty word nowadays).

Thanks to Vlad at Ssixty.info for the headsup.

    I’m sure that TeaShark is the cats meow, will make gold rain from the heavens and all my wildest dreams come true..

    ..but in the last 15 minutes of testing it has failed to load a single page, throwing up network errors left and right so I think I’ll wait before I buy stock in thier company.

    This was over both EDGE and WiFi by the way.

    This version is 0.9 and I already had version 1.0 so now I have two versions in my Applications folder. Both work, but just wish there was a fit to screen option.
