The gang at Brighthand have posted a review of Skyfire, the new PC-like web browser that was announced last week.
At the very beginning, reviewer Ed Hardy calls it “the best web browser for Windows Mobile” he’s ever seen. He goes on to discuss the features of the browser — such as Web 2.0 features like Ajax and Flash; thumbnail and zoom view; SmartFit, which automatically resizes text to fit in your phone’s display; and much more — in exacting detail. He also talks about some of its flaws:
As impressed as I am with Skyfire, I’m not blind to its flaws. However, the vast majority of these I chalk up it currently being a beta.For example, I watched a long clip on YouTube, and after a few minutes the audio and video were slightly out of sync. The application also crashed on me once while I was activating SmartFit. But these are the sort of things I consider “teething pains”, and will likely be cleared up before the full version is available.
All in all, it sounds like quite a browser, and something to look out for.
