Intro to Skyfire

Skyfire Mobile Browser is the product of a truly pioneering development team. Their aims are to lower streaming data bills for the poor contracted non Virgin Mobile customers all over the world by compressing streaming video.

As a result of their video engineering efforts, they have been able to bring flash video to most Android devices whether the devices themselves can actually install and handle the Adobe Flash plugin.

Well folks, Netflix is finally officially part of the Android Marketplace. Unfortunately, the app only supports a few high performance phones. This means, no Netflix for us LG Optimus V users.

I have hopes that this may change in the future, but my hopes are not that high. It probably will not happen.
