Mobile browsers have come a long way in the past few years. The days of stripped down WAP pages that make the web look like it did in 1994 are all but gone. Now you can use an iPhone, Android handset, or Windows Mobile device to view full web pages much the same way you would use a desktop browser. Sure, some content (most noticeable Adobe Flash) is hit or miss. But for the most part, mobile ...

Skyfire is a mobile web browser for Windows Mobile and Symbian S60 phones. The browser is one of the fastest around, and one of the only mobile browsers around that can handle Flash and Silverlight content. That's because Skyfire uses a secret weapon: the browser doesn't have to do all of the page rendering. Instead, Skyfire compresses web pages on its server and delivers them to your mobile ...

All ten of you that don't own a BlackBerry or iPhone... rejoice! I just can't believe I get to use the new Firefox for Mobile logo twice in two days. It might be buggy, it might be slow, but the Fennec web browser has finally been branded a Mozilla product and dubbed the 'Firefox for Mobile Beta 5'. If you want to see a picture of it up and running on a mobile handset, head on over to the ...

With over 1 billion page views from phones using the Opera Mini Web browser, could the Norwegian browser developer be targeting the iPhone next? Opera was originally built in 1994 to battle against the heavy hitter that Netscape was. Then everything changed as the mobile landscape grew and Opera began focusing on viewing proper HTML documents on handheld devices. Opera Mini basically connects to ...

As if it wasn't hard enough to navigate the web on a 2 inch screen using a telephone keyboard, Google is making it easier for web designers to toss a few ads your way. The company is reportedly beta testing AdSense for mobile. The mobile advertising service will work pretty much the same as the desktop version. Google will add contextual ads to sites optimized for mobile browsers. The ads should ...

APC Magazine has an intriguing interview with Mozilla Foundation CEO Mitchell Baker on the state of mobile web browsers and Mozilla's plans to develop a mobile version of Firefox.

It loads pages faster than almost any other browser, has excellent support for VGA screens, runs on Windows Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6, and supports tabbed browsing. An upcoming release will support zooming in and out of web pages, similar to the way Opera for the ...

Pages can take an incredibly long time to load, and once they do, you're often presented with the least important information first as the browser puts all the navigation links from the left side of the page first, followed by the ...
