Bluelark Launches Blazer Web Browser
Bluelark Systems announced today the availability of Blazer Personal Edition 1.0, a Web browser for the Palm platform. Designed from the ground-up for fast wireless Internet access, Blazer provides users with access to the full range of Internet content, including HTML, WAP, and i-Mode. While it was designed for wireless Web browsing, it will work with any PalmOS device with an Internet connection. It is available now for free.
Blazer's speed advantage is due to optimized content streaming, caching, and progressive rendering technologies. "By downloading text first, and then filling in images and other objects, Blazer allows users to drill down quickly to relevant, personal, and time-sensitive information," explains Simon Mawby, chief executive officer for Bluelark Systems. "The result is that users can navigate through multiple pages to find information in the time it would take for other browsers just to display the first page." According to the company, Blazer displays the majority of Web pages in less than five seconds.

Worked for me...
As for tables and frames, they were fine. I loaded a framed page, and was given links to each frame page. I loaded a page with a table, and it displayed the table contents just like AvantGo does (with tables turned off), graphics included.
As for imagemaps, what Palm browser DOES support them?
Granted, I didn't go nuts with it, since I didn't want to waste my cell phone minutes just testing, but it looks like a fairly decent browser. My gripe is that it's almost 250k. That's not what I call a small footprint. Since it can't do offline browsing yet, I might as well just stick with AvantGo, which can be an online browser as well. Besides, I don't even know of any i-Mode servers/sites to test, and only one WAP site I'd bother with (PawGo).
Since I'm on a PalmV, the full color support doesn't help me much.
one plus is that it's easy to bookmark pages you visit.
