Full-featured browser set to hit Windows Mobile

A browser that can simulate a desktop web experience? That seems like years off - at least until mobile devices get a little beefier. Skyfire, a new Bay Area startup, begs to differ. The company is putting together a mobile browser that can support anything a normal desktop browser can. This includes AJAX, Flash, Quicktime, Javascript and more. It can do this because it actually routes all your requests through a server that transcodes the data into a more efficient (and of course, proprietary) format. While skeptical at first, you have to concede that the YouTube test drive the company put together looks pretty darn slick. You can visit the website to sign up for the private beta but keep in mind the fact that it’ll probably be a pretty long line. Oh, and did we forget to mention? It’s FREE.

Excellent, their website says: “both touchscreen and non-touchscreen phones are supported”, so my smartphone may actually work.
