Jataayu launches jB5 web browser for Symbian and Windows Mobile

by Brad Linder Mar 5th 2007

Here at Download Squad we're suckers for new mobile web browsers. That's probably because so few developers really understand how to design a browser that makes it as easy to surf the web on a Smartphone or PDA as on a PC.

While Opera Mobile is the leader in this field, Jataayu Software's jB5 mobile web browser looks like a strong contender. And, at least while it's in beta, it's free.

jB5 is designed to be a lot faster than Pocket Internet Explorer, but has a much simpler interface than Opera Mobile. It has a couple of other nifty features:

Import bookmarks from your PC.
Create a personal home screen with your favorite links.
Support for WAP Push messages.

jB5 only runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 and Symbian devices.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
