Skyfire Launches 1.0 Version Available for Download

Jun 02, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Skyfire, the makers of the same-name PC-like browser for mobile devices, is announcing the launch of its 1.0 version now available for free download at get.skyfire.com.

According to officials, the Skyfire mobile browser supports web standards and plug-ins such as Flash 10, Silverlight 2, Ajax, Javascript and more. Users can also begin the page with RSS feeds from websites or integrate Facebook or Twitter accounts.



Skyfire noted that improvements specific to the Skyfire 1.0 release include enhanced navigation, zooming and interaction as well as faster launch, power optimization, and new search functionality.

"We were absolutely floored by the initial response to the Skyfire Beta," said Nitin Bhandari, CEO. "We knew people wanted the PC web on their phones and this was clearly confirmed in the significant user growth and engagement during our beta period. We achieved our goal of delivering both a better and faster mobile browsing experience. However, bringing it to over 1M consumers exceeded our expectations of a beta, especially since they were all acquired organically by buzz and word of mouth. As we experienced explosive growth, we also experienced significant uptake in user engagement. People were using Skyfire more often and more people were making Skyfire their default browser - for all of their mobile browsing, not just video consumption." Skyfire has plans to bring their browser to more smart phones and recently launched a Private Closed Alpha program for the BlackBerry platform. The company will announce plans for a Public BlackBerry Beta at a later date.



Skyfire is the creator of the Skyfire mobile browser, which delivers the PC web to mobile phones.
