Skyfire promises true PC-like browsing on smartphones

Apple's iPhone, for example, changed the mobile browsing world last year when it drew a huge following with its Safari browser. However, its lack of Flash support disappointed a few. To that end, Skyfire has created a new mobile web browser which it claims to effectively make browsing the web on a smartphone "just like browsing on a PC."

SkyFire Uses Server-Side Technology to Make Internet Surfing Faster, More Practical on Cell Phones and Mobile Devices

There's a lot of talk about the new SkyFire internet browser for mobile devices. But without a degree in Information Systems, it may be hard to understand what the hype is all about.
