Skyfire today announced availability of its Skyfire 2.0 mobile browser for Android devices. The browser is capable of playing Flash videos, using Skyfire's so-called cloud servers to handle much of the processing workload decoding the video format. The Skyfire 2.0 browser also uses the new SkyBar, a toolbar that separates Flash content on a Web page to make it easier to access. The SkyBar also recommends related contents and lets users share articles and videos with friends on Facebook, Twitter, or by e-mail and SMS. The browser is available as a free download from bit.ly/skyfireandroid.

Actually, IT IS BETA!

Official title in the Android market reads:

"Skyfire Browser 2.0 (beta)"

Now, if that isn't beta, I don't know what is.

It also says CAPABLE of playing flash ... probably has conditions ... like a flash enabled phone? So probably comes with the Android 2.1 upgrade?

This most likely has to do with how skyfire operates (redistribution) so it would violate piracy laws to stream it or something (and it might not play nice with their ad setup)

Adobe hasn't released flash 10.1 on a mobile platform so playing hulu is out of the question.

I've tried a couple of sites and so far, my phone reboots every time it gets to 100%.
