A look at Skyfire's Web 2.0 mobile browser

Skyfire excels at running video and audio from the internet, although connectivity issues can hamper smooth playback.

One welcome feature is Skyfire's recognition of embedded players, such as the music player on MySpace or the video player used for ZDNet UK's own Dialogue Box show, as shown above.

The zoom-in box will recognise and latch onto a media player, making it full-screen if the user chooses to zoom in.

Those wishing to try out the beta version of Skyfire can get it by typing get.skyfire.com into their existing mobile browsers. However, it is best to remember that, being a beta, the version is slightly buggy and can cause the phone to crash.
