skyfire 2.0 beta
I am really tired of not being able to watches videos on the default Android browser. Skyfire is here to rescue. The app just lunched today. It got a great intro from techcrunch so I rushed over to the Android market and downloaded it for a test run. First stop was Hulu.com, I couldn’t get it to play any of the Hulu’s video. It took forever to download the home page. I also noticed a few glitch when using my touch screen keyboard with the app, too. Next I tried CNN.com. It worked like a charm with CNN videos. The video quality was nice. I went over to ESPN.com. It worked prefectly with ESPN videos, too. Overall, the app does better with web pages that has only one video. I experienced difficulties using it on pages with multiple video links. I couldn’t watch any of Hulu’s videos. Nevertheless, I it still a great app for Android. I expect the number of video consumption among Android phone users to go up within a few weeks or months. It is still in beta, maybe the next update will support Hulu.
Just search for Skyfire in the Android market to download the app. Now you can start burning some valuable time watching videos on your phone. Check the video below for the full demo.
