Skyfire enters public beta

News icon

Published on: 24 September, 2008 by PhoneArena Team

Skyfire, the server-side Windows Mobile browser that handles Flash and Ajax, is now available to all. Previously only available by invite, they have upped the version to 0.8 which moves it into public beta. We've been using Skyfire for months now and cannot give it enough praise, so head over to the site and try it now.

Unfortunately for the residents of europe, Skyfire is only available on phones in the US with the +1 numbers.

idk what u guys are talking about, being able to go on nfl.com and watching all the football highlights are great. the zooming isn't such a big deal to me, i always have opera if i need to read an article that important. the videos showed pretty good on my treo 800w, but i just upgraded to the touch diamond for sprint and it seems like the screen is not compatible yet, meaning i cannot get past the first screen, anyone know when they will come out with an update??

Check out www.skyfire.com for more info. Your screen is probably above the maximum resolution, and yes, there will be an update (eventually)
