When it comes to smartphones and their Internet connectivity capabilities, one of the main factors that can enhance the user experience is the browser that is available on the device. Windows Mobile phone users have now the possibility to enjoy an improved browsing experience through the use of the latest flavor of the Skyfire browser, namely version 1.5.0.15020.

According to the developing team of the software solution, users that own handsets with high resolution screens will benefit from an enhanced experience due to “crisp text and stunning graphics” the new browser iteration comes around with. Moreover, it seems that, while Windows Mobile phone users can enjoy the new solution starting today, those who own a Nokia Symbian phone will also be able to do so in the near future.

The company also made available a video that demonstrates the new improvements and capabilities of Skyfire 1.5 for Windows Mobile. Among the enhancements the browser comes with, beside the full VGA support and the finger friendly UI, we can count kinetic scrolling and a full screen mode as well. Other improvements include: - Auto-move text entry box when the (virtual keyboard) is used: Assures that a text entry box moves into view in case the virtual (on-screen) keyboard covers it - Updated Flash and Silverlight: Updated both to the newest version available - Updated Start Page: Optimized for high resolution devices - Performance: Upgraded both client and server for faster and more responsive browsing

“Skyfire is a little company with a big mission: to ensure you can access on your mobile phone all the best web content that you can access on a desktop computer today. That’s a hard challenge, and so far we’re the only company that has found an elegant solution, using our Cloud Computing centers to boost your phones’ native capabilities. And with Skyfire browser v1.5, I am proud of all our latest improvements. Not just high resolution browsing, but also easier browsing, with our new user interface that’s more “finger friendly,” a full-screen mode that uses every inch of your screen, and so much more,” Jeff Glueck notes in a post on the Skyfire Blog.
