Skyfire Browser

Skyfire acts generally like the iPhone browser. When you open a site, what you see is it shrunk down to fit on your smartphone's display. You can then tap on the screen to zoom in on sections of the page. http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=13761

An interesting thing with Skyfire is that it uses Mozilla Firefox 2.0’s user agent when a request is sent. This is to prevent web servers from identifying Skyfire as a mobile browser so that they will send full content instead of mobile content. http://www.aswinanand.com/2009/06/skyfire-review/
