uZard – Windows Mobile, BlackBerry Web Browser with Flash & Silverlight Support
uZard Web P is yet another web browser for Windows Mobile and BlackBerry platforms. Just like its competitors, this browser has its strengths and weaknesses.
uZard uses approach similar to Opera Mini, which is beneficial in many ways: lower memory footprint, easy updating and more (does not mention compression).
It does indeed support Flash and Silverlight (also other audio/video formats), however, when it comes to actual browsing, you might want to look somewhere else.
What about browsing?
Although uZard Web P claims to be “the fastest mobile web browser.”, it’s much slower than Opera Mobile 10 or Skyfire. Must be marketing…
Anyway, the main issue with uZard is high CPU utilization and sluggishness (see screenshot below), which makes it unpleasant to use. As web browser is still in beta, don’t expect G-sensor to work. However, you can still manually rotate the screen, not a big deal.
Here are a couple of screenshots:

Entering URL
Very high CPU usage (1 GHz processor)
Nice little cursor when browsing, not very accurate though.
Preferences window, quite a few useful settings, such as: double click zoom ratio
uZard Web P Beta Ver.2.0 works wwith Windows Mobile 5, 6, 6.5, as well as BlackBerry Bold 9000.
