Today Skyfire has released a new version of their browser for Windows Mobile. Skyfire is a mobile browser that gives you the most feature complete way to view the web on your phone as it would look on your desktop PC. This means YouTube, Hulu, Flash 10, Silverlight 2, Quicktime, AJAX, it's all in there.
This latest release includes Facebook and Twitter integration, making it simple to share the things you view on your phone. The browser now supports widescreen (up to WVGA 800x480) and adapts font size for text so once you zoom in, you can read without horizontal scrolling. Contextual zoom will fit the text to your screen, and a newly improved rendering system makes this already snappy browser even faster.
Also new in this version is the ability to not just listen to audio, but download it to your phone (if the media is freely accessible), and for Windows Media Streaming audio, you can listen to streaming radio in the background while you keep on browsing.
To install over the air, point your phone to http://get.skyfire.com.

Larry....! You have a shot of a NOKIA device for a Windows Mobile related article! Shame on you! <grin>

Seems like SkyFire would be a logical acquistion target for Microsoft. It even plays on Microsoft "SkyDrive", "SkyBox", "SkyLine" branding/codenames.
