Skyfire, makers of the full PC Web experience browser for mobile devices, Skyfire, announced today that they are opening up registration of their free browser to all. In addition, the Mountain View based company is announcing the .8 version of their revolutionary product for Windows Mobile. The new version of Skyfire adds even more speed and ease to browsing the Internet from a mobile device.

The full article is on MarketWatch.

This is not a request.

I DEMAND that everyone here get Skyfire if you haven't already gotten into the beta, especially if you are running a Smartphone/Standard device

It's the best and lightest browser that has built in Flash 7 support, and the only one that give full browsing to the smartphone (non-touchscreen) devices.

Once I get the .8 update, it's becoming my default browser.

OK - so has this non-touch screen device got the better of me.

I signed up for Skyfire, got the text message on my phone - went to link - asked me to create password, but the box to enter the password does not take any text???

 Click the center button to bring up a text box in Skyfire.

The beta crashed my Qtek 9000....so why should I get the full version? widescreen fixed?

OK - installed it - still trying to use it....

yrless: AFAIK, widescreen is still an issue, but I haven't heard back from my contact at Skyfire.

Thanks Kris!

I just got an e-mail from Skyfire letting me know that their 0.8 beta release is now available to anyone at their site. If you haven't already tried this browser, you may want to give it a shot this time. Skyfire uses its own servers to render complex websites so they'll display properly on your phone, and it's pretty cool. About the 0.8 beta, they say:

If you are using the Windows Mobile 0.6 Beta, please take time to upgrade today. Look for the upgrade link on the Skyfire start page. It's quick and easy to do.

You're going to like the improvements to zooming, video playback, text entry, and bookmarks, to name a few.  We've added new features, too. These are two of our favorites:

• Super Bar - Get to content quicker. In a single field, you can search or enter a URL. It's always present in the header so it's easier to find what you're looking for. Type a few characters and with auto-complete, it's quick.

• Sharing - Share your favorite web content with friends and text message any web page. Imagine you're watching The Office on Hulu, and you Twitter it to your friend - the link and all. If they have Skyfire, they'll be enjoying the show too.

To read the full list of improvements and features, check out our Release Notes.  Please upgrade before November 17, when the Skyfire 0.6 Beta expires.

I also saw where it was available today and put it on my 6800. I seriously do like this browser so far. Big thumbs up from me.
