New Mobile Phone Browser Will Support "Everything"

[tedster]

Skyfire, a startup in Mountain View, California... unveiled a free browser intended to support everything a PC browser can. That includes Flash video, Quicktime, Javascript, Ajax and more, though not everything may be there right now, according to Nitin Bhandari, Skyfire's CEO. The browser is now in a private beta test for U.S. users only....

Skyfire's product... reliev[es] the phone from some of the heavy lifting of presenting a Web page. In fact, a server transcodes every page into an efficient protocol that Skyfire has developed over the past 18 months.
