Some of the new Skyfire features include:

1. VGA Screen Support – Supports VGA (640×480 resolution) and WVGA (800×480 resolution).
2. Smooth Scrolling – The screen will scroll a little bit longer based on finger gestures instead of stopping after you finger leaves the screen.
3. Full Screen Mode – There is a way to hide the navigation icons giving the user the full screen experience.
4. Touch-Friendly – A lot of the icons and have been made bigger so that you don’t need a stylus for the touch experience.
5. Auto-move text entry – Tapping on a text field will re-orient the screen to increase visibility.
6. Support for Flash 10 and Silverlight – Latest versions of Flash and Silverlight are supported
7. Improved speed – Speed and stability have increased.

The aforementioned features are only supported for Windows Mobile Skyfire users only. Symbian will get Skyfire 1.5 very soon.

Skyfire Mobile Browser 1.5 – Windows Mobile from Skyfirelabs on Vimeo.

SkyFire Labs, a mobile web browser company based in Mountain View, California has raised $5 million in a third round of funding according to a filing with the SEC.

SkyFire Labs previously raised $17.8 million from Trinity Ventures, Matrix Partners, and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Along with the funding, SkyFire recently hired new CEO Jeffrey Glueck.  Glueck is the former CMO at Travelocity.

SkyFire’s mobile web browser has the ability to render Flash and Silverlight media on Windows Mobile phones.  Most phones do not have that ability.  SkyFire can even make Hulu work on mobile phones.  There is no way that Apple would allow this on the iPhone otherwise they would not be able to sell all those applications.
