Tweet

For those living in a world of iOS that may not be as familiar with the current crop of Android browsers, there is one you may have heard of, or at least one that you may want to pay attention to as it has just come available for the iPhone. That browser is the Dolphin Browser and it comes courtesy of Mobotap.

That being said, the Dolphin Browser is available as version 1.0.1 and compatible with both the iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 4.0 or later. Sadly, as of now the browser is not available in an HD form made specifically for the iPad. But lets focus on the good — this is a really nice browser on Android and should be worthy of some attention in the iOS world.

The Dolphin Browser sports quite a few nice features, of which some of my personal favorites include Webzine and the gestures. Of course, the speed dial and tabbed browsing are also nice to have. With that, here is the complete set of features and break down of each. And then, hit the source link a the bottom of the post to make your way over to the iOS App Store.

• Gestures You can simplify the way you navigate the mobile web without going through complicated clicks. On the bottom menu bar, you can find the gesture button (finger shape), which enables the gesture mode. In gesture mode, you can draw a sign or add a new gesture. For example, in any web site, if you input “v” gesture in the gesture mode, you can go to the bottom of the web site.
• Webzine Bring out the beauty of the web and with Dolphin Webzine users can experience the web like never before.
• Tabbed browsing Real tabbed browsing. Feel like you are on a desktop. Add tabs within Dolphin just like you would on a desktop.
• Sidebar We implemented two side bars for you to access Bookmark and Tool Bar without going through complicated clicks; you can access Tool Bar simply by swiping from the right edge of iPhone screen to left. You can access Bookmark simply by swiping from the left edge of iPhone screen to right.
• Speed Dial Put favorite sites on Speed Dial. Stop looking around in your bookmarks. Forget about typing out long URL. Just put your favorite sites on Speed Dial.
• Smart Address Bar Smart and effortless browsing by auto-completing URL and context menus When you type the first few characters of a URL, Dolphin auto-complete the URL by displaying all results from both bookmarked items and your browsing history.
• Bookmark Folder We implemented Folder in Bookmark. Now you can organize your bookmarks into different folders, as you currently are doing with your desktop web browsers!
• Desktop Mode Switch between desktop view and mobile view according to your needs Need to view the full site of facebook sometimes on mobile? Dolphin helps you do that.
