Skyfire Mobile Browser…Now Available To All!

Posted by: dgoldring on Sep 25 2008

image I am quite a fan of the Skyfire Mobile Browser, having first used it when the initial private beta opened several months ago.  Since then, I have written about the browser on several occasions in this space, but there was always an awkward sort of tension in those articles.  Until now, you see, Skyfire was only available to a small (but growing) group of private beta testers.  I felt funny writing about such a fantastic program, which many of you readers could not see or use.  I could almost hear the grumblings of, “Elitist jerk” as you read my articles.  On the other hand, I felt a responsibility to tell you what great things could be coming soon (and no, I did not feel a responsibility to show you what you may have been missing!)

Well, that day has finally arrived.  No longer do I need to suffer the slings and arrows of your insults as I bring news of amazing wonders upon which your eyes may never feast.  Yeah, that’s right.  Skyfire has gone public.  With version 0.8, they have thrown open the doors, allowing one and all to come and check out their wares.  Just head over to the Skyfire page and get ready to be dazzled. 

For more information and to learn about what is new in version 0.8, check out the full press release, or follow Skyfire on Twitter.

    Hmmm I guess I’m not part of the “all” in “now available to all”. Still US only. :(
