    Can you even imagine a mobile web browser to beat a PC browser or a mobile browser giving you a PC web browsing experience ?? Well , I also never imagined that until today. I wish I could take part in the beta testing, but alas its only for US guys out there.

    Youtube , Last.fm , facebook : all in your mobile with a FREE browser

    skyfire mobile browser
    The new browser will allow smartphone users to interact with basically any Web page that integrates any Web technology, including

    • advanced Ajax
    • dynamic Flash
    • Java
    • Quicktime

    ……. and more, comes for free. Mobile users will finally be able to watch YouTube videos, connect with friends on MySpace, Facebook or any other social networking site, listen songs from any Web-based music service (such as Last.fm or Rhapsody), all at the same high speed as on a desktop PC or laptop. :D

    You can signup for private beta using the link at skyfire . I am sure opera mini is gonna have a nightmare once this browser is available. What about unborn mozilla browser for mobile phone ??Quoting the article

    Skyfire is announced as the fastest loading mobile browser to date, as it’s based on the fact that the displayed content is first rendered on a server and the sent to handsets. The new browser also has lots of features that simplify the mobile browsing experience, like bookmarking a specific location from a web page, full screen navigation, zooming and thumbnail views.

    With the kind of announcements made by skyfire, it has rocked the mobile world and I can only hope that it stands tall on the expectations it has generated . I am waiting to get my hands on this browser .. What about you ???

    That’s a new milestone in the mobile technology. And I’m sure that skyfire gonna change the whole thing! We really need those functionalities on the go. Opera atleast faught the fight. What about Mozilla?

    The beta is available only for US customers, it seems.

    Sounds great, a browser with ajax and client-side script, will be wonderful for a mobile browser.

    In my earlier post on Opera Mini 4, I wrote a detail study on Opera mini 4 about how they make it work that fast. now, let me do a research on this on. And might be a comparison will work good.

    @Kanak
    And did you also check the google adsense problem with the old “Opera Mini 4″. Soon after I posted that message, Opera released a new upgrade in next week fixing the adsense problem by making them unclickable. :)

    That is indeed very good news.
    Actually I am really impressed with Opera mini 4. It is awesome experience compared to the OM 3.
    Anyway, waiting for the release of the new app.

    @kanak,
    Yes, definitely they can do something but not what Opera Mini 4 did. OM4 just blocked users from clicking on google adsense in any website, thus saving it from fraud clicks. But Skyfire should do something and give users real web feel and sametime should be safe. :)

    Nice, I always liked the opera browser but based on what I have read, this new mobile browser gives every other one a run for their money!

    @smackall,
    Actually, I am not sure whether it was really required. Accidental clicks ok, but what if the guy really wanted to click the add. Normally the ppl who click adds are the people from search engine. If a normal reader browser your site, he will never click adds. isnt it ?? :D

    @dailytechimpressions
    agree , this browser is gonna revolutionize the way browsers will function in future :D

    @Kanak,
    Thanks true, But in my post I was speaking about google’s difficulty in finding click fraud when the user is through Opera Mini 4. As the browser doesnt sent the right IP. This case is for any mobile browser ofcourse.
