Skyfire has finally released the complete version of their smartphone mobile browser, promising a "PC-like web experience."
The browser is a free download and will display pages almost exactly as they would appear on a PC, similar to the Safari browser for the popular Apple iPhone.
Skyfire also notably supports Flash, Java, Silverlight and Ajax.
The browser in its current form will run on all phones using Windows Mobile 5 or 6 and Symbian phones with Nokia's S60 platform. A BlackBerry version is coming later.
Adds Skyfire business development vice president Raj Singh:
"The top two user complaints were that it took a long time to start up and it was slow when zooming in and scrolling, so we attacked those issues." Zooming is now instant and scrolling pages is "faster and smoother" adds Singh.
