Skyfire 2.0 Available For Android


We already knew Skyfire was working on an Android version of their popular Windows Mobile browser, and that it was in Alpha testing. Now, on the same day that the Droid Incredible hits Verizon stores, Skyfire has released a public beta, available in the Market and on the web. The big news is the new SkyBar, which allows for automatic Flash video streaming, where normally there would be broken video links. It also has some social networking integration.

The browser doesn’t actually play Flash videos as such – it uses a remote server to convert them, on the fly, to HTML5 and other formats that mobile devices are happier streaming. So, if you come across a YouTube link, for instance, you can hit the video button and choose Skyfire’s version instead, watching it in the browser rather than having to use a standalone YouTube app.
