New Mobile Browser: Skyfire

Submitted by admin on Wednesday, 24 September 20082 Comments
Google Android, users may have forgotten about one of the best mobile browsers available for Windows Mobile and Symbian owners. We’re talking about Skyfire, the award winning mobile browser that we can’t get enough of! Skyfire gives mobile users one of the best web browsing experiences to-date. It’s also one of our picks for must have windows mobile applications.Today, Skyfire users can look forward to a great update that breathes new life into this mobile browser. Here’s a look at what’s new with Skyfire.

What’s New in Skyfire

If you’ve been waiting a lifetime to get off of Skyfire’s waiting list, you don’t have to wait any longer. With the release of version 0.8 of Skyfire, the application is now available to all Windows Mobile users with compatible devices. So what’s new with the app itself?

Download files

One of the most popular capabilities that Skyfire has over Safari on the iPhone is the ability to play flash videos. This means you can browse popular video sites such as Youtube and Vimeo, or music sites such as Last.FM and Imeem, to play media clips on the go. Playback speed and quality has noticeably improved in the latest Skyfire update. With videos, the mobile browser’s playback quality would suffer significantly when zooming into a video while it was playing. In our tests of the latest update, this bug seems to have been fixed and playback quality stayed the same when zooming in and out.

What we deem will be a really popular new feature is Skyfire’s ability to download files. You may be thinking that you can’t download anything outside of a Word or PDF file. Well, you’re wrong. We were able to download .mp3 files, Gmail attachments, .CAB files and more to our Windows Mobile handset. Skyfire lets you choose where to save a file and presents you with a progress view of your download. However, you won’t be able to do anything else while the file is downloading
