Skyfire 4.0 Upgrade Said to Significantly Innovate the Browsing Experience

Skyfire’s just issued a press release letting us know that version 4.0 of their browser is in the works. We haven’t gotten a look at it but, now we’re told it’ll be a significant upgrade and will change the experience such as much as version 3.0 did. That version added better social networking integration and tightened the experience up.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Skyfire, the company that brought you the most innovative smartphone application of 2010, is at it again in 2011. The red-hot Skyfire mobile browser on Android is about to get a whole new look, pricing model and killer features.

Skyfire for Android is one of the most popular applications in the Android Marketplace and has seen over 2.5 million downloads since launching in April 2010. The mobile browser was upgraded to critical acclaim in November 2010 with integrated social media and Facebook capabilities. This latest update will continue to build on Skyfire’s strong track record of technology.

The company is expecting to announce Skyfire for Android version 4.0 in the coming weeks. All existing features will remain free to the 2.5 million beta testers across the globe and these users will continue to receive Skyfire’s innovative updates moving forward in gratitude for their help and support in the launch of the product.

Skyfire is dedicated to using cloud computing to improve multimedia experiences on mobile phones, and has created the first "Compression as a Service" offering for wireless carriers and device makers. Skyfire’s innovation has been visible to consumers through the Skyfire browser app, which has enabled Skyfire to refine its research with millions of users.

The app was named the #2 App of All-Time for Android by TechCrunch, and was the top pick in a PC World September 2010 comparison of all Android browsers. Skyfire won the Best Mobile Application-People’s Voice at the 2009 Webby Awards and was named a Top App of 2009 by the New York Times’ Gadgetwise. Skyfire’s iPhone browser, launched in November 2010, quickly reached the top selling app rank on the Apple App StoreSM, as the first way for iOS users to access videos designed for the Adobe Flash PlayerTM. Skyfire was recently recognized by Light Reading as the #4 StartUp to watch in 2011.

The browsers to beat

Dolphin / Miren / Xscope – the browsers to beat. Sorry Skyfire you were a stepping stone to Froyo. Nevertheless that Flash is out and runs relatively then on the above browsers, I have no need for your services anymore unless clearly you decide to support the official Flash plug in. Perhaps the iPhone boys will be more interested.

@John, You as a matter of fact should take a browser for a cell phone more personally. Its like Skyfire took a shit in your living room. John time to get out of the basement and perhaps GASP talk to a female other than the Google Voice voice.
