Last week UCWEB released a new Beta of their namesake product, a fast server based browser similar in concept to Opera Mini and Bolt but with some great additional features including tabbed browsing and the ability to copy text from web pages. The new release is version 6.6 and is only available in Chinese from official sources. Fortuanately for English speakers, the Java version of the Beta has been translated by the same two UCWEB Forum members, New88 and Mannuforall, who have done unofficial translations of previous releases.
New88 has posted three different versions to this thread on the forum:
1. UCWEB 6.6 Beta using the 6.6 Chinese server. This version has server side performance enhancements and 6.6 specific tweaks:

2. UCWEB 6.6 Beta using the UCWEB 6.3 English server which is based in the U.S. and is not subject to "Great Wall" censorship. Some features may not work with this unsupported server/client combination:

UCWEB 6.6 Beta using the UCWEB 5.1 Chinese server which is supposedly the fastest server of all:

Mannuforall has done four translations which are discussed in another thread.

4. Ucweb 6.6 Beta with the MyZone tab and English server. MyZone lets you backup and restore bookmarks, read RSS feeds, and use a UCWEB hosted online disk storage service and an Email client. It has a Chinese-only user interface but there's a cheatsheet for English speakers here: UCWEB Tutorial
