Skyfire 2.0 beta for Android

I'm about to eat my words. Yesterday i said that Skyfire was a waste of time. It's most certainly not. Skyfire has debuted their 2.0 beta, which looks pretty darn nice. It's at the very least an awesome solution to watching Flash videos in the interim. Especially if you're not going to be a part of the 2.2 update.

I noticed right away that you still can't scroll through the video, but hey, Flash videos are playing on you're phone, right? You're doing a whole lot better than you were before!

I haven't put it on my phone to test it out, and honestly I'm not to hungry for it, but the cool fellaz at Engadget did and this here demo shows some very nice action from their Nexus One. It's not only flash-video-friendly but has this very cool feature to force Desktop detection, which i like a lot. Sometimes i don't want a website to detect that I'm on a mobile device and automatically forward me to the m.whatever.com version of their site. Having that option is actually quick useful.

Enjoy the vid. Post a comment.
