Quick Shot: Skyfire vs. Opera Mobile
Skyfire is a relative newcomer to the Windows Mobile browser scene. After lingering in a US only beta for what seems like over a year, the folks at skyfire.com have finally spread their wings, at least to Canada and the UK. What Skyfire promises (and delivers on) is a browser with Flash support built in, for both video and Flash animations.
This is a quick speed test comparing Skyfire with the excellent Opera Mobile 9.5, with some sample in-browser Flash playback, using an HTC Touch 400MHz phone.
Rendering speeds between the two are negligible, and Opera’s look and navigation are still miles ahead of Skyfire, but Flash support is pretty scarce in the phone world, but you can judge for yourself.
NOTE: This is an excerpt from the upcoming episode 14 of rgbFilter, which will be online within a week.
