Skyfire for Symbian

The awesome mobile web browser Skyfire is now available to select Symbian beta testers. We haven’t signed up on time and we’re not on list. However, it appears only those testers residing in the U.S. are allowed to get a sneak peak of what seems as the next best thing since slice of bread.

From what we know, Skyfire is poised to revolutionize the mobile web. Sure, you’ve heard this line before, but these guys aren’t kidding. They even brought Mike Rowehl to help them out, and I have all the respect for Mike and his work.

If you’re not aware, Skyfire browser should bring the full, desktop-like web browsing experience to the mobile phones. That includes Ajax, Flash, Quicktime, Windows Media and more. Can’t wait for the final release…

In the meantime, if you own a Symbian device (I guess they mean S60), you are free to sign-up for beta version from here. If you get in da club, don’t hesitate to drop us few lines with your impressions.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    I guess the us has more s60 users than Europe, or maybe logistical difficulties for the beta team.
