Feb 11, 2010, 12:17 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Today Skyfire announced that it has acquired kolbysoft, which makes the Steel mobile browser for Android devices. Kolbysoft's Steel browser builds on Android's Webkit browser and makes improvements. Through this acquisition, Skyfire will absorb koblysoft's Android development expertise and plans to introduce a Skyfire Android edition browser in the coming months. Skyfire already offers its browser to the S60 and Windows Mobile platforms, and includes the ability to play Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight video content.
