If not or you have a non-“Google Experience” device without the Market, Skyfire has made the Android.apk available for download to your PC at get.skyfire.com or to your handset from m.skyfire.com. Skyfire for Android is available worldwide and supports all devices running Android 1.5 or latter.
No operating system, be it a desktop one or for a handheld device, can be complete without a good web browser. Recently, the Beta version of the browser SkyFire 2.2 was released Google’s Android operating system. The version number to be exact is 2.2.0.18794; the new version brings several improvements to its predecessor SkyFire 2.1.
SkyFire 2.2 supports GeoLocation, therefore enabling pages like Google Maps, which use the GeoLocation feature will be fully working with SkyFire 2.2. The search system for SkyDrive is also enhanced with results from multiple engines like Google, Twitter, Amazon are displayed. More search engines will be added in the near future. Also, SkyFire will be set as the default browser for Android version 1.5 to 2.1, with Android 2.2 not included in that list. The browser also contains support for Flash 10.1 and the user interface (UI) is improved to provide a sleeker and smoother browsing interface on Android 2.2. The video zoom features have been enhanced; especially for the HTC devices and also fixes some crash related issues and bug fixes.
Being a Beta release, there are some issues with SkyFire 2.2, with the major ones being popular video streaming service Hulu not working on SkyFire 2.2. However, rather than a technical issue, this is somewhat of a platform problem since Hulu says, “Hulu does not have the rights to support content for mobile devices and thus is blocking Skyfire.†Other issues include finding videos and getting stuck on 25%.
However, things are bound to improve when the final version of SkyFire 2.2 is released in the near future. Meanwhile, the Beta can be downloaded from the Android Market.

Skyfire 2.0 for Android phones is now available in the Android Market for public download! Skyfire 1.0 for Android remained in beta for testing purposes and is now finally available as Skyfire 2.0.
Mozilla just came out with the first pre-alpha release of Fennec for Android yesterday, and as Skyfire didn’t wanted to stay behind, they are in with the launch of their browser for Android – that also supports FLASH videos!
Android 2.2 is confirmed to have full Flash 10.1 support, but no final dates have been given as so when it will be released to the public. I have been an early Skyfire BETA user and it has seriously improved a lot over the beta releases.
The speed and performance of Skyfire for Android 2.0 is really nice as compared to other browsers. Check out the screenshot below from an early beta release.
