Android to Get SkyFire Browser Soon
Techtree News Staff, Apr 05, 2010 1732 hrs ISTBeta testing starts
Android smartphone users are blessed with great browsers - starting from the fairly efficient default one to the likes of the Opera Mini and the upcoming Firefox Mobile, almost all the browsers for the platform do a great job at presenting the websites "as is". Having said that, there is a new entrant in the Android browser space - Skyfire. Certainly, having more options for a browser is not a bad idea.
Skyfire, who already has Windows Mobile and Symbian versions of its browsers, has now set its eyes on the Android space. It has announced that a version of Skyfire for Android based devices is in the making. In fact, they have already developed an alpha version of the same and are inviting alpha testers to use the browser and report bugs and issues. If you are interested, all you need to do is to get hold of a phone running Android 1.5 or above. Then provide folks over at Skyfire your device's IMEI number. You might want to go through the Skyfore Blog for more on this.
Unlike other browsers available on Android, Skyfire is capable of displaying Flash 10 content and supports Ajax, Javascript and Silverlight 2 as well. It is touted to be the only mobile browser to bring the full PC Web to phones. There is no word as to when the final version of this browser would arrive. This might take a few months because we are yet to see even a Beta version of the same.
