UC Browser 8.2 Beta
This is the latest version of the UC Browser, released March 15. Here’s a list of the changes since the last version, 8.0.
1. Smoother – Although this version is 20 KB larger than the last version, it’s optimized to run more smoothly and use less memory.
2. Share current page to Facebook – (Menu>Actions>Share>By Facebook).
3. Find in page – (Menu>Tools>Find in page) , lets you can find words and phrases in the current page.
4. Clipboard – copy multiple selections and choose which one to paste. Edit/Delete clipboard contents (Menu>Tools>Clipboard>Menu>Edit, Delete, Delete all.
5. Save pages for latter reading (memory card required)
6. Shortcuts for QWERTY phones:
[Y] Switch tab [J] Open in New [V] Back
[N] Forward [R] Context Menu [U] Reload
[I] New tab [M] Home [Backspace] Close current tab
[Space] Move Right/Page Down [T] Up [B] Down
[ F] Move Left [H] Move Right/Page Down [G] OK
This version runs very well on my Motorola Rambler. It seems faster than previous versions and also faster than Opera Mini. The QWERTY keyboard shortcuts work well and are much more faster than going through the menus.
Like 8.0 it’s still a Beta (7.9 is the latest production version) and features a further refinement of the new user interface introduced in the 8.0. It’s still missing a few of the standard features of the UC Browser 7.9 and earlier including the option to remember the last page on exit and restore it when UC is restarted.

Nice
It is a very powerful downloading.
Dennis sometime ago I wrote to you that ‘bolt browser’ is live and well and can be found I think in Aptpoid. Don’t you think its worth investagating?
Have you tried it? Does it actually work? I downloaded from the Play Store as I don’t trust the Aptoide warez market. It doesn’t work because the servers were shut down. Even when it worked the Android version of Bolt was very buggy and practically unusable. It was nowhere near as good as the Java version.
I have the motorola i1 and was wanting to know of I can use the UC Browser. I am using opera mini, and will if be faster.
The latest version of the UC Browser that works on the i1 is 7.2. It’s no longer in the Android Market or available from UC but I put a copy of it here: http://wapreview.com/dwnld/UCBrowser72.apk
I don’t find it any faster than Opera Mini.
