Good news for Android users, you don’t have to wait for Android 2.2 to get Flash onto your device, Skyfire has just released their Skyfire 2.0 browser for Android and according to Engadget, it’s pretty impressive. The new Flash-enabled browser can give users a faster mobile internet experience, and it comes with media recommendations and social features – the first mobile browser for the Social Media generation. Currently available for Symbian and Windows Mobile, the browser is currently one of the top 10 all-time apps in the Nokia Ovi Store and Windows Marketplace.

What’s new on this browser, as compared to what I’m using on my Nokia device now, is the SkyBar that brings the internet to a mobile user’s fingertips. Users can now easily access Flash videos on a web page, related content recommendations, and easier sharing with their social networks.

• Video –The "Video" icon enables users to play millions of Flash videos around the web that otherwise do not play on mobile. This unlocks content trapped behind those error messages with question marks and blue Legos. Behind the scenes, videos are translated into a format easier for the phone to play, like html5 video.

• Related Content – The "Explore" icon brings the most relevant content on the internet to a user's fingertips based on what they are viewing at the time. The Explore button pulls video, buzz, news, images and other sites from the web based on what is on the current page.

• Sharing – The "Share" icon lets users share any article or video easily to their friends on Facebook, Twitter, or by email and SMS messaging, adding a comment, and all with a single click.
The first mobile browser for the social media generation:

"Skyfire 2.0 was built for the way people use social media and the web today. People are now starting their web experience by scanning their Facebook and Twitter news feeds. Our new browser allows you to open those links and view the videos that your friends have shared. To make that work, people need a browser that can handle the full internet." --  Jeff Glueck, CEO of Skyfire.

The Power of Cloud Computing:
Skyfire on Android uses cloud-computing technology to enable this web video; the benefits for consumers include faster and smoother video playback, and extended battery life by offloading more of the work to cloud servers. At the same time, since Skyfire 2.0 is built on a webkit core, users get all the functionality they know on the default Android browser, such as pinch to zoom, copy and paste, find text on the page, open up to eight browser tabs, and more.

Skyfire is one of the fastest growing downloadable browsers with usage increasing 500% year over year, and currently streaming over 25 million minutes of Flash video every month, more than any other mobile browser worldwide.
