[Review] Skyfire Mobile Browser

Many people are talking about skyfire browser recently. Today I downloaded and installed it into my Nokia N96. After playing with the software in a few minutes, I believe it will be the ultimate mobile browser which I won't miss on my smart phone.

You can download the beta software at http://get.skyfire.com just by using your phone browser to access the web site.

AAS had published several articles to discuss this browser. You can find the latest one (as of my writing on 10th December 2008) from Steven Litchfield at here.

The preview is much better than mine. :) Therefore, I will only publish some of screen shots taken while I played with the software.

The software launch screen. It's still in beta version.

The default homepage of the browser.
Did you notice that the layout of the home screen? It is the only mobile browser which can offer closest to my PC using experience so far.

You can read popular news.

News in other languages such as Chinese is also a piece of cake.
Of course your device must have Asian language pack installed.

To access NGN LIVE portal, no problem at all. :)

You can zoom in as well.

Another one of my favorite sites, YouTube!

Video can be played back directly in browser. This is quite an unique feature to give an end user a PC like using experience. Very good indeed!


Other T&C with regards using the software and handsets supported can be found at http://www.skyfire.com/about/beta.

Give it a try and enjoy it.
