Skyfire is an innovative mobile browser that does its best to bring a full-web experience to mobile devices by adding desktop-like features and enhancements that are otherwise normally left out of standard mobile browsers. Skyfire has announced their Skyfire 0.8 beta for public consumption. Ending the company’s too-long private beta program, Skyfire’s new Skyfire 0.8 beta browser is now available. And, to inaugurate the newly public Skyfire beta program, Skyfire has built some cool new features and functionality into the most lightweight, yet multimedia-savvy mobile web browser on the market - Skyfire 0.8.
Making use of today’s standard web technologies such as Ajax, Flash, etc., means that sites that are media rich such as YouTube, Facebook, ESPN and others are now accessible in their entirety. Skyfire processes all web-page data through its own proxy servers and then pushes that data back to your mobile device. Because Skyfire’s servers are doing all the heavy data-crunching, the Skyfire browser can serve up multimedia content, like embedded videos, with the ease and speed of a full-blown desktop browser
Version 0.8 of Skyfire for Windows Mobile offers the following:
* Better video quality
* Ability to make Skyfire the default browser
* Faster launch and auto-reconnect
* Improved zooming
* Ability to download content
* In-line text entry
