Skyfire 2.0 Browser for Android Released

The Skyfire browser brings the desktop web experience to the phone, but until today Android phone owners were unable to share in that experience. Skyfire 2.0 has been released today for the Android platform, and the full Flash experience (sorry Jobs) is part of the package. Skyfire uses server-side page rendering to bring web pages to the phone screen looking like they do on the desktop. Video streaming also works with few compromises, according to the developer.

 The Skyfire 2.0 mobile browser for Android devices is now available to everyone. It is capable of playing Flash videos, using Skyfire's cloud servers that faclitate the video format decoding. The new SkyBar toolbar separates Flash content on a Web page to make it easier to access, recommends related contents and lets users share articles and videos with contacts on Facebook, Twitter, or by e-mail and SMS.
