[Mobile Browser] Download SkyFire 1.0 For Free
Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile browser that gives you a Web browsing experience exactly like PC browsing. Currently, Skyfire runs on Windows Mobile (smartphones and PPC) and Nokia N and E Series (Symbian S60, 3rd Edition) phones.Right now, the browser is officially launched in the US, Canada and UK.
With Skyfire, the end user gets a PC like surfing experience.Also interestingly, Skyfire is a proxy based browser,which examines and compresses all web content before it is loaded to the end user’s phone.This helps with saving crucial bandwidth costs and time.Skyfire supports multimedia which includes Flash 10, Silverlight 2, Ajax, Javascript, Real etc… Support for Flash and other multimedia formats implies that you can watch any video from Hulu, Youtube, Metacafe and other website without any issues on your mobile device.
While Opera Mini has stayed as my favorite since long ( when browsing on S60 phones), i feel SkyFire is a much better alternative owing to the various multimedia file format support and a user friendly brower.
With SkyFire you can even post web pages and status updates to Facebook and Twitter, with one click.
