SkyFire has finally opened up their North American beta program to users in the UK. For those that haven’t come across SkyFire before is a proxy based mobile browser available on Windows Mobile and Symbian platforms. Those in the US and Canada have enjoyed SkyFire for a while now with its support for almost any type of web video (including YouTube and iPlayer) and access to almost all the sites that you would with a browser on your PC. SkyFire provides support for Java, Silverlight, AJAX and Flash which is a pretty comprehensive set for a mobile browser. The browser and service is free and if you have a data plan built into your contract this is certainly one of the best and fastest ways to view the web on your small screen.

Currently SkyFire supports most Windows Mobile and Symbian phones with greater support coming in the future. So if you’re still trying to use S60 web or Pocket IE then this might be the browser to ease your troubles. Free to download here.
