Quick Glance at Skyfire 0.8
Published September 27th, 2008 in quick-glance, reviews, software-review, windows-mobileHello, everyone! I’m going to start a new category of postings called “Quick Glance” which is a brief look at a software or hardware which I will likely be doing a full review later on. The Quick Glance posting to meant to provide you, the Palm Discovery readers and viewers to get a quick look at something I think is interesting and deserves a quick glance.
Today, I’ll be taking a “quick glance” at the popular and amazing browser called Skyfire that supports the Windows Mobile Platform (5 & 6) and Symbian Series 60 smartphone devices. Skyfire has recently released version 0.8 and made it publicly available so I was more than excited to try it out. Before I continue, I personally find this my favorite browser of choice mainly because it supports a variety of flash enabled websites like YouTube, CNN, allowing me to view the videos inside the browser rather than having to view it in Windows Media Player. Also, I can view websites like they are presented for desktop computers, rather than being stuck with a much limited mobile version and it supports Java as well.
Now since this is really meant as a “quick glance” and brief post, I won’t make you wait any longer. Check out the Quick Glance video below!
How about you? What do you think of the Skyfire browser or do you prefer the Opera Mobile browser or Access Netfront browser or Torch Mobile’s Iris browser or even the default Pocket Internet Explorer? Do you like the newer version 0.8 or if you’re one of the lucky people with the beta version 1, what are your thoughts? Please leave me a comment below!
