uZard Web is a mobile web browser for mobile devices such as cellular phones, smartphones, PMP, navigator, settopbox and etc.

It currently supports Windows Mobile (Touchscreen devices only),[2] Windows CE, Symbian, BlackBerry (RIM) and Linux. Also it supports BREW, Java and WIPI. Its first commercial version was released in Feb. 2007 in Korea with SK Telecom, KTF, LG Telecom and KT WiBro(WiMAX) which are carriers (operators).

Overview [edit]

In uZard Web, a webpage is fully rendered by a server separate from the mobile device, similar to the operation of a thin client. This approach is also used by Opera Mini and the original Skyfire (1.x) browser; it is usually faster and supports better rendering techniques, but does not offer the end-to-end security of a full browser (such as Opera Mobile or Internet Explorer Mobile).[3]

The layout engine used in this browser is MoRDAC (Mobile oriented Remote Display and Control).
