Dolphin releases new Honeycomb specific web browser

July 26th, 2011 · web browser

Dolphin have just released a new version of their web browser. They’re calling this one Dolphin for Pad, and it’s just a beta release.

It’s been customized for large screen tablets, and it comes with all the same great features that Dolphin include in all versions of their browsers: gestures, add-ons & plug-ins, multi-touch-zoom, tabs, and sidebars.

There’s only a handful of devices running Honeycomb, and all the legit ones have market access. Even the hacked Honeycomb firmwares come with market access.
