Skyfire has announced a new web browser for smartphones that gives users the “real web” experience rather than the more stripped-down version mobile users generally experience.
Skyfire has stated that the browser, which is also called Skyfire, will display content such as Flash, Ajax, and Java at the same speed as a PC. This will open sites like YouTube, Facebook and MySpace, and Last.fm to mobile users. It also has features such as bookmarks that open to a specific part of a page, thumbnail and full screen views, and seamless zooming to make mobile browsing easier on the user.
There’s no information available on the proprietary technology behind the browser, but anyone in the US with a Windows Mobile 5 or 6-based smartphone can sign up for a private beta. Other platforms and regions will follow later.
