Skyfire Brings Full Browser Experience To Nokia S60 Phones (200 Private Beta Invites)

Throw out that WAP browser on your cell phone. We are quickly approaching a point where a full browser experience is available on our mobile devices. And it is not just the iPhone. A startup called Skyfire is in some respect even further along than Apple in bringing the entire Web to your phone. Its mobile browser lets you slide Web pages around and zoom in like with the mobile version of Safari. But it also supports Flash and Ajax sites. (It does this by offloading most of the heavy lifting to its servers rather than the mobile client). That means you can watch Youtube videos and go to Google Maps right in the mobile browser instead of having to download separate apps. In contrast, the iPhone’s Safari browser still does not support Flash and so to watch a a video you have to launch the separate Youtube app.

As it becomes possible to do more and more inside the mobile browser itself, it raises the question of whether that indeed is the killer app for mobile Web phones. For the most part, you still get a richer experience by downloading a separate single-purpose app to your phone. But efforts like Skyfire’s point to a future where that may no longer be necessary for all but the most sophisticated apps and games.

Skyfire launched on Windows Mobile, but as of today it is also available in a private beta for Nokia phones running Symbian’s S60 operating system. The first 200 TechCrunch readers to sign up for the beta here will get invites (enter invite code: Tcrunch).

You can also download thousands of exciting mobile games and useful apps ranging from entertainment to utility and security apps are available at Softwaremandi.in, for (absolutely) FREE. Visit now to download and make your life easier.

Free Mobile download, the most desirable 'thing'

Ever thought that the money you spent to buy a hi-fi mobile phone is not being justified i.e. you are not getting anything out of what your phone offers. One possible reason is that we love to use FREE content, so here is the portal that offers thousands (yes thousands) of absolutely free software and games for your mobile phone including Nokia, LG, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, BlackBerry and many more.

Another exciting thing about this portal (apart from being absolutely free) is that it doesn’t even ask to signup i.e. no signup required to download. When you download for the first time, you are automatically signed up … cute :P
