SkyFire Beta: WM Browser With Video Flash Supported

28 January, 2008 Posted by SolSie As Mobile Phone, Multimedia, News, Windows Mobile

  Skyfire browser is bringing great hope to Windows Mobile users with the Flash-based contents (e.g.YouTube, DailyMotion video) support. This capability of playing Flash-based videos directly from the web sites has been sorely lacking from other mobile browsers including the iPhone Safari.

Some other features:

  • Fast browsing experience
  • Watch any videos on YouTube, DailyMotion, Break
  • Listen to any music from last.fm, Rapsody, Yahoo! Music
  • Stay connect with friends on Facebook, MySpace,
  • Browse whatever you want like weather, news, maps, sports and the rest.

So far, I have not seen all the mobile optimization such navigation, zooming yet. These capabilities are also a major factor of mobile browsing experience.

Here are some details about which phones are supported today as well as Skyfire immediate and future plans.

• The initial private beta supports Windows Mobile 5 and 6 phones, both touch-screen and non-touch-screen, in the U.S.

• After Windows Mobile, we will support the Symbian platform in the U.S. – starting with Nokia N-Series and E-series phones.

• Skyfire developers are currently investigating support for Blackberry, but it’s not on immediate roadmap.

• Skyfire developers would certainly investigate putting Skyfire on the iPhone when the timing is right.

• Palm OS phones aren’t supported, but Windows Mobile phones offered by Palm, like certain Treo models, are fully supported.

• Skyfire currently only supports mobile phones. PDAs without a phone number associated to them will not work with Skyfire for now.

• Phones with VGA displays (640 x 480 resolution), will not work with the current beta. We support a maximum resolution of 320 x 320 pixels.
