In a now very well-cited blog post from last Friday, Google Apps Senior Product Manager Rajen Sheth announced that as of March 1, Google Docs and Google Sites (the company's tool for building your own Web sites) will no longer support Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 Web browser. A Google spokesperson told Betanews this afternoon that Sheth meant exactly what he said, and no more -- specifically, that the initial phase-out will begin a schedule of similar phase-outs for other apps in the Google Apps suite.

The statement should not be taken to mean, the spokesperson told Betanews, that the company's various Web properties (for instance, ad platforms) will no longer support IE6. Sheth was only speaking for the Google Apps team, we were told. YouTube, a Google division, announced its plan to phase out IE6 support last July.

The reason for the phasing out, says Google's spokesperson, is the need for browsers to enable support for new facilities in JavaScript (for example, jQuery) and for HTML 5, which Google has recently been characterizing as the new Web standard for built-in video. The ability to embed YouTube videos is a feature of Google Docs; and YouTube has already begun its own public experiment in alternative HTML 5-based delivery, although using the proprietary H.264 codec rather than the open source Ogg Theora codec.

A full-scale exodus from IE6 support, were there to have been one, would conceivably have affected how Google Analytics works with clients' browsers. IE6 may still be installed on as many as one-third of PCs worldwide, and a great many Web sites (too many, by some folks' reckoning) continue to support rendering for IE6's unofficial, de facto standards. Yanking the cord on IE6 support in just a matter of weeks would have conceivably forced servers worldwide to implement sweeping changes in the way their sites work and behave.

How sweeping? As IE8 continues to wean Microsoft's family of Web browsers away from VBScript -- the scripting language derived from Visual Basic whose engine enabled the ILOVEYOU e-mail virus a decade ago -- certain elements of VBScript functionality no longer function without the use of "compatibility mode." Many corporate intranet sites and Web applications continue to use logon scripts and security functions written using VBScript, long after the rest of the world has pretty much adopted JavaScript. Those scripts were written as part of software packages that have yet to attain the full five years of amortization that some businesses require -- 5 years before they feel comfortable enough with having regained their lost value, to invest in their replacements.

A move by all of Google to have cut IE6 off on March 1 might have forced some of its advertising and analytics customers to seek other avenues.

Sheth's message last Friday suggested that Web browser users upgrade to more modern editions; and in his list, he included IE7 and newer (IE8), Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and newer, Apple Safari 3.0 and newer, and Google's own Chrome 4.0. Not Chrome 3.0, which was the current stable edition as of only last week. This afternoon, a Google spokesperson confirmed to Betanews that as of March 1, Google will consider only Chrome 4.0 and newer to be officially supported browsers, adding that Chrome users are upgraded to 4.0 automatically.

"Google Chrome automatically updates all users to the latest version of the browser," the spokesperson told us, "so users don't have to worry about running out-of-date software. Google Chrome's Beta and Stable channels are currently on 4.0, and the Developer channel is on 5.0, so Chrome users are already upgraded away from 3.0 versions of the browser."

Mobile browsers have come a long way in a relatively short time. In a way, webOS, iPhone OS, and Android users have been kind of spoiled by the fast and easy-to-use browsers installed on their devices by default. For these sorts of users -- the ones who pull out their mobile phones to run a search every time someone has an unanswered question -- it's easy to forget that much of the mobile world would rather avoid opening its default mobile browser at all.

Opera may be the most prominent third-party solution to poor mobile browsing experience, but free browsers such as Bolt and Skyfire are quickly making a name as well. They too seek to improve the mobile Web experience for everyone, even those on resource-constrained devices with less-than-lovable browsers built in.

This week, both of these cross-platform browsers received significant updates.

Bolt from Bitstream (which made its name in software as a retail seller of fonts) is not even one year old yet, but has already shown promise as an alternative browser for devices that support the MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.0+ profiles. Along with its desktop-style browsing functions, Bolt supports streaming video, copy and paste, and the ability to upload photo or video content to the Web.

This week, Bitsream rolled out Bolt 1.6, which the company said adds full socket-based connectivity, a new password manager, and the ability to be set as the default browser on BlackBerry devices. This means when links are embedded in e-mails and text or instant messages, they can be clicked upon and opened in Bolt now instead of having to be copied and pasted or otherwise opened in BlackBerry's default browser. Mobile users can point their default Web browser to Bitstream's Bolt download site to install the new version of Bolt.

Skyfire has gained considerable attention in the third party mobile browser scene thanks to its support for Flash 10, Silverlight 2, AJAX, and JavaScript, and its snappy server-side compression techniques. These factors combined bring users an experience that is comparable to, if not actually better than, the webOS, iPhone, and Android browsers. Unfortunately, device support for Skyfire is not as vast as Bolt, and the most recent update will only affect Windows Mobile users.

Skyfire 1.5 for Windows Mobile (both PPC and SMP) adds full VGA support, a new UI more tailored to touchscreen "flick" browsing, and full-screen mode with no UI layers. Flash and Silverlight have been updated to the latest versions with this release, and Skyfire claims the browser has been upgraded on both client and server side for and overall faster browsing experience.

Though this update is only for Windows Mobile 5, 6, and 6.X devices, Skyfire says S60 5th edition will get the fully updated browser some time in January.
