BOLT Mobile Browser Discontinued
BOLT, a little web browser that could, has announced the end of its saga.
Some time last year, June 2010, to be exact, BOLT has published a press release, claiming that is has rendered its billionth page with more than 7.3 million active users worldwide. Well, as it turns out, the economic circumstances did its own thing and those numbers are no longer relevant.
What did the company have to say? Not much.
The free BOLT mobile browsing service will be discontinued. Unfortunately, the economic circumstances prevent us from running a free service going forward. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your loyalty and support.
That is all, folks.
[Thanks, Rafael Luik]

Earlier last year, surely?
Oh, it’s 2011 already? Fixed.
Thanks.
Sad to see the little guys go under when they have a decent product, guess the competition is to fierce & they came late to the party, I believe Opera Mini is serving over a billion pages a day by comparison.
Another browser bites the dust. You have to admire how Opera after so many years still lingering on :)
Opera is not in intensive care yet.
