Bitstream has released  ThunderHawk Symbian Series60 (S60) Edition. The company says that all new and current ThunderHawk users are able to test the software by downloading the 30-day free trial.

"ThunderHawk continues to provide a browsing experience that is closest to what users see on their desktop," said Anna Chagnon, President and CEO of Bitstream Inc. "Now many Symbian users will be able to take full advantage of the mobile Web with ThunderHawk's unique viewing options, while still utilizing the Symbian platform interface. The result is that ThunderHawk Symbian Series60 users can find the information they need quickly, easily, and productively."

ThunderHawk Symbian Series60 (S60) Edition complies with Symbian interface guidelines while offering the same features and functionality users have come to expect from ThunderHawk, the company says. It is designed to be similar to browsing on the desktop because ThunderHawk includes functionality that enhances the user experience in ways that other browsers do not, including:

* Multiple viewing options. ThunderHawk is the only browser that enables users to move between "full screen" and "split screen" viewing modes, making information easy to find and easy to read on Symbian devices.

* Effortless scrolling. Fast, fluid Web page navigation.

* Increased speed. Due to client/server technology, ThunderHawk Symbian Series60 (S60) Edition provides the fastest mobile Web page speeds available.

* The ability to read information on-the-fly. Compact transport format and progressive rendering creates a fast, positive user experience.

* Seamless connectivity. With ThunderHawk Symbian Series60 (S60) Edition, a dropped connection is re-established immediately, along with any data you previously entered.
