Content is compressed 23:1 before being sent to the handset, reducing data traffic and page load times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Multimedia and Plugin Support: <\/strong>BOLT supports Flash video. The client\/server architecture is used to transcode the video on the fly into 3gp format, then send to the device. In some devices (e.g., Motorola RAZR), video is played directly in the browser window as it would be on a PC. In others (e.g., BlackBerry smartphones), the video is played through the device\u2019s native media player via the native browser. The device\u2019s capabilities determine the process used to display video.\u00a0 Video that is in mobile 3gp format is sent directly to the device without transcoding. \u00a0  Bolt supports Ajax (except for timer events).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bolt - You Tube\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/Bolt6.jpg\" alt=\"Bolt - You Tube\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you missed out on the first round of Bolt invites last week, now you have another chance.\u00a0 If your phone supports Java ME, I highly recomend you give Bolt a try.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BitStream just gave me 500 referral codes for the Bolt Browser that I reviewed last Friday.\u00a0 If you don&#8217;t have Bolt, go to http:\/\/boltbrowser.com click the &#8220;Download&#8221; tab and fill out the form, entering wapreview in the referral code field.
