Bolt web browser updated

[Riley]

tonight I was on bolt's site and noticed there's another version up. Beta2 was out in april 09, Beta3 is out now but not sure how long it's been up. works very well for general browsing but still doesn't save passwords. oh well, seems a little snappier though. check it out here:

I got it in every version that enabled you to watch a video. I had a ROM that didn't have Opera installed. So Installed various versions of Opera and I still had the error. I posted about it on various sites, but never got a fix.
