It's easy to say the weekly stories of App Store approval/rejections are an emotional roller coaster. But finally -- Finally! -- we can say that Apple appears to be weeding out the stupidity and employing some people with common sense once and for all. At one point, apps that "copied functions of native iOS apps" were banned outright -- no matter how good they were. But Apple has at least relented a tiny bit of control. Now there are several stand alone browsers to choose from, namely Opera....

.....and just like that, Fennec was beaten to the punch.
While Fennec may be the hot stuff in the media's eye currently with pre-alpha's jumping around, another contender need not be forgotten -- SkyFire. It's been around for quite some time to Symbian and WinMo users, though today it's Android's time to shine.
You may recall a leaked beta of SkyFire for Android surfacing about a week ago that was honestly kind of rough around the edges. The task of getting a public-ready version so s...

Being a BlackBerry user is both rewarding and painful. One one hand, you have one of the best platforms for messaging -- whatever type it is -- and rock solid stability. However, on the other hand you have a platform that let's face it, in the consumer age is falling behind faster and faster with each passing day. Just look at the BlackBerry browser -- it's a joke. RIM might as well not even include it for consumer oriented BlackBerries because it's so slow, renders for crap, and is all arou...

Holla! Whoop whoop! Time to get excited. Skyfire is coming to Android!
Mobile browsing has steadily gotten better over the last several years with better hardware and software teaming up. Regardless of what OS, processor, or type of display you have, the only thing that truly matters in mobile web browsing is the browser itself. Even today, most phones have pretty craptastic apps installed called "browsers", with some manufacturers even going as far as to brag about the "HTML" aspect. E...

Being on the mobile web just a few short years ago meant navigating extremely rudimentary WAP web pages and dealing with painfully slow load times. That is if you could even get a site to properly/completely load on your device. Thankfully technology doesn't sit still and in fact runs a breakneck speed. In today's world, we have browsers such as Mobile Safari, Mobile Chrome, SkyFire, and Opera mini to name a few. While all of the mobile browsers listed (and several unlisted) are all good in ...

Alpha testers of Skyfire's latest update to the BlackBerry version of the Skyfire browser will be pleased to know that after the little snafu a week or so ago that the alpha is back up and running with the latest alpha 3.5 -- 1.0.0.12799. Even before this update, Skyfire was single handedly the best BlackBerry browser out there...even in alpha! Yet with the new update comes even more mouth watering features that will surely sweeten the pot. The new goods include:

The mobile web is chock full of explosive growth both from users and well as content publishers, advitisers, and so on. Navigating this vast environment until a few short years ago was archaic and painful at best. Thankfully, as technology has progressed, so has our ability to navigate that oh so loved environment. For Windows Mobile and Symbian users, Skyfire has finally let go of that pesky beta tag and is now a full fledged product ready and waiting for you to try it out. Gizmodo got so...

Mobile browser competition has been heating up in recent months. With fierce competition between mobile safari, Android's mobile chrome (more or less), Opera mini, Bolt, and Skyfire, we consumers definitely have some choices and some testing to do. As you can see from the screenshot above, the latest SkyFire alpha/beta(?) 2 build for Blackberry that has been released to testers looks awesome. If you recall, flash support is one of the many things coming along for the SkyFire ride - the holy g...

As anyone who uses the mobile internet heavily on a Blackberry knows, even the browser in the latest 4.6 and 4.7 OS's are less than perfect...by far. They're slow, render like crap, and don't support many things such as flash and silverlight just to name a couple. That is now old news as various Blackberry users have begun receiving emails asking if they would like to be in the Skyfire alpha team. I wish I still had a functioning Blackberry as I would definitely been into this. Howev...
