New WinMo browser does flash and JAVA

Quote:

The Skyfire browser is set to finally bring PC-like browsing to your Windows Mobile device with crazy speeds and support for all manner of embedded content. Sure, there are ways to get Youtube and other mobile video content through proxy sites that convert on the go or with other 3rd-party applications, but this puppy does it all in one sweet and free package. Facebook and Myspace pages load up in no time, video plays in the browser, and all of this is accomplished with some server side magic on the part of the Skyfire server but is completely transparent to the user. All flavors of Windows Mobile -- 5 and 6 for both touchscreen and not -- are supported with the roadmap hinting at Symbian support in the near future. Sounds too good to be true? It is, and you don't have to just take our word for it, follow the read link to get signed up for the beta, this is something that just cannot be missed

That server side magic causes some log in pains sometimes, but I think this is a step up from Opera Mini

KarlW, you're wrong on many levels. I won't get into it but I will say this: Safari on an iPhone is almost the same Binary that is installed in OS X which means it can easily take advantage of the existing Flash plugin.

Yeah, sure, we can take a plugin meant for x86/PPC and drop it onto an ARM device, it works great :)
