Super awesome Skyfire browser, which is unfortunately still in the private beta stage, has added Silverlight support. The addition of Silverlight is made seamlessly in the backend, without requiring users to install a new plug-in or even update the browser version.
The news is especially interesting in the times of Olympics, as all of the video footage of the summer games from Beijing is available through Microsoft’s Flash-killin’ standard on NBColympics.com.
In addition to the Silverlight support, Skyfire has also added a widget on its launching page, linking to video and picture slideshows of the latest from Beijing.
Now if they would be nice enough to open up their beta program to the public, that would be even more cool…

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.
