Skyfire : Taking Mobile Browsing To The Next Level

A few months ago I had read somewhere about a new browser that was gonna be coming on the scene soon called Skyfire...It of course grabbed my attention as I was never a fan of Pocket IE and Opera was an improvement but still it seemed like it was missing something.

Well today while I was sitting at work I got a text message with a link to finally download Skyfire and play around with it....needless to say I could not wait!!!! Here is a little chart with some advantages to using Skyfire over the competion.

Sound to good to be true? I wondered myself and have to say I am IN LOVE with this browser! Like it is listed above you can load Youtube...the whole site not a mobile version and watch the movies just like on your computer...I was able to log into my last.fm account and just like you would on your computer system you could listen to tracks and such. how kool is that!

The layout is simple and easy to get around in....I am using it on my moto q that I have with sprint...I am sure it is gonna vary in performance based on what type of mobile device you have and the carrier.

I have only played around with it a little bit so far so I may find some things that I find annoying but my initial reaction is this two thumbs up....maybe what I will do is play for it with a week then come back and give my thoughts as I am sure right now it is way to early to give a real review.

Skyfire is currently in beta and at this time I do not have any invites but if I come across something like that I will let everyone know for now if you have a chance to load it on your phone go for it (I dont think you will be disappointed or if you are just finding out about it now head over an sign up for a beta invite.

So in closing - Love Skyfire so far, stay tuned for updates, and check out this little video that will give you a run down of what to expect.
