Skyfire Browser Now Available In UK
Skyfire browser which brings mobile web experience very close to desktop-like experience is now available to download for users in UK.
Skyfire was only available to customers in US previously but now you can type in your UK mobile phone number on Skyfire website for over-the-air installs and also you can download the application to your desktop and install to your mobile device. Browser can be installed on devices running Windows mobile or Symbian.
Browsing multimedia rich websites on Skyfire is absolute pleasure, you can watch embedded flash videos or Silverlight content. Websites appear exactly as they would on desktop browser. We have tested popular video sharing websites like Youtube, ESPN and Vimeo, videos play without any problems.
Skyfire browser experience is client-server based, so before you see your website on your mobile device, Skyfire server does some processing of websites before sending them to your phone. Because of this, BBC iPlayer videos do not play, because BBC website identifies you as a non-UK visitor.
Otherwise browser works well, apart from occasional hickups. Download, try it for yourself and share your experience with us!
