Bolt just announced on their forum this morning that they have updated their Bolt Browser to v2.3 adding some cool new features including HTML5 support. Here’s the full change log:

View streaming flash or HTML5 videos from sites like YouTube, MySpace and MTV
Enjoy Twitter and Facebook widgets with BOLT’s web app platform
Easily switch between multiple sites with tabbed browsing
Post to your Facebook or Twitter account directly from BOLT while you browse
Backup your favorites in the cloud

And yes, it works on the Torch. Comparible to the stock WebKit browser? Pages do indeed load faster but I see it being not so touchscreen friendly. That’s where the trackpad comes in handy of course. Either way, it’s a great alternative browser to try out, especially if you’re trying to hit up some embedded media.
