New web browser

Looks like there is a new Java web browser in town. The web browser is suppose to support flash video among other things. I tried installing it on my treo 800w and had no success. It loads up and then exits. The browser is called "Bolt" what makes this different is that its designed for smartphone and regular phones like the moto razr. From the about page
"BOLT is a free mobile browser that offers an uncompromised browsing experience on even entry-level mobile phones. It is compatible with virtually any handset with Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0 support. In non-geekspeak, this means "it works on lots of phones, even basic ones."
Rather than offering a simplified, mini version of the Internet, BOLT provides users with an efficient, feature-rich, way to enjoy full PC-style Web pages and rich media applications on all levels of mobile devices." some reports say that its not as good as skyfire (another browser that supports flash video) but lets see if it gets updated regularly.
You can download the beta here
