Skyfire is taking aim at the big mobile web browsers--namely Safari and Opera--with a product that supports something the others don't: rich media (and streaming video and audio capabilities). Unlike the iPhone's Safari, which requires an additional application in order to view YouTube videos, Skyfire comes equipped with PC-quality capabilities. As mobile browsers race toward PC-mimicking quality, Skyfire represents a giant leap forward in the market. Technically, it supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, Ajax, Java, Windows Media and more. The initial private beta supports Windows Mobile 5 and 6 and Nokia Series 60, 3rd edition ((N-series and E-series). It's not yet supported on Blackberry, iPhone, or Palm Treo.
