We may finally have a competitor to iPhone's mobile web browser. Skyfire, which has been peaking our interest for quite some time about their ultra-capable mobile browser software, has finally found a medium. The software debuted on Windows Mobile and is in private beta on Symbian's S60 compatible Nokia phones (including the N95, pictured above) as of today.
The browser has all the capabilites of mobile Sarfari on iPhone (zoom, dragging, sliding, etc), but with one big enhancement. It runs Flash and Ajax sites, and it does it all without the need of downloading separate apps. How? As TechCrunch reports, "[i]t does this by offloading most of the heavy lifting to its servers rather than the mobile client." Youtube and fancy websites, no longer a problem.
Check out the video run-through on CrunchBase, pretty neat stuff.
