So do you miss seeing those cool looking rich media ads and wonder why you can’t get them on your mobile phone? Well, even if your mobile phone doesn’t support Flash technology, Skyfire has developed a proxy-based browser that will allow you to view Flash video on your mobile phone. How is this possible? By means of a proxy-based browser in which requested web content is optimized on a separate server for playback on mobile displays. All kinds of technology such as Flash, Windows Media and RealPlayer will be supported and converted into a playable format. Since the web content is prepared and compressed on a separate server, it can be accessed faster on the internet by mobile devices.

The browser will also allow for easy social sharing with one-click features for Facebook and Twitter. Skyfire will be available on Android, Symbian/Nokia, and Windows Mobile. You can also multi-tab browse using up to eight windows – pretty cool huh? Choose between mobile site versions or desktop webpages. The browser will also be able to provide recommendations for related media content from YouTube, Twitter, Digg and more based on browsing habits. Check out the video to see a demo.
Watching Flash on mobile phone jepordise the ultimate user’s experience as it is memory intensive, hence makes the loading over the network much longer than HTML5.
