Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile browser that gives you a web browsing experience exactly like PC browsing. For the first time ever, on your phone, you can watch any video, connect with friends, listen to music, shop, and browse the web using the full-featured PC versions of your favorite websites. With Skyfire, mobile browsing just works — speedy page loads, full video, images and audio.
Simply its the best browser available now cause it supports :
- Flash 7 ,8 ,9 (plays youtube instantly)
- AJAX
- Javascript
On the other hand the lates Opera mobile 9.5 and Pocket IE do not support those features.
Installation couldn’t be any easier, first option is to directly go http://get.skyfire.com from your PocketPC / phone and install the .CAB file (500kbs) directly or you can download it first to your PC and install it as usual with activesync.
So in summary, if you need browser with flash , skyfire is the one. But if you don’t Opera is your best choice available.
Pros :
- Plays flash videos , java , and ajax compatible
- Uses a proxy server, lets you access webpages restricted to US regions
Cons :
- Slow on zooming in / out (Opera is faster)
- No Tabbed browsing (Opera can do this)
- Still in Beta version
