I spent an hour and a half last night installing and playing with Skyfire on my Motorola Q. While Skyfire opens up the whole web to smartphone users, it is not a perfect solution. I was looking for a browser that would allow me visit and easily read the sites that were giving me problems in Mobile Explorer (www.buffalobills.com and www.dailyshow.com).

I was very pleased when I went to wikipedia to see what is new on the topic and learned that there is a new micro browser called Skyfire available as a free download - if you want to take a risk on loading an open beta on your phone. According to the wikipedia propaganda - Skyfire is speedy and full featured (read more) browser so I quickly went to download it. It downloaded incredibly fast and allows for a more complete web browsing experience than what I was used to in Explorer Mobile. The only thing that doesn't work easily is the sound on flash videos or at least that is what I am concluding as I still can't watch clips from the Daily Show with John Stewart.

I will be using it the next couple of days as I am on the road at a NERCOMP workshop. I will let you know what I think in the coming week.
