USA based software developer, Skyfire has released an updated version of its Android smartphone web browser. The enhancement is said to provide increased stability as well as support for 750,000 additional websites for watching Flash video. Skyfire specifically enables Flash video by transcoding video files into HTML5 and optimizing them for mobile delivery.
In a series of tests conducted by Skyfire, users were able to watch twice as many minutes of video per hour, and conserve 30% more battery life, when compared to native Flash 10.1 being released this week on a subset of Android phones.
Since the launch of Skyfire for Android in April, Skyfire has added over 500,000 new users.
"Skyfire's success on Android raises the bar for the mobile internet in general. Android users have demonstrated that smartphone users want all the content on the Internet to work on their devices, not just one or two 'mobile' sites," said Jeff Glueck, CEO of Skyfire. "The content that matters changes each day and runs across millions of 'long tail' sites. Skyfire users don't need to wait for a WiFi connection to enjoy great video."
