I was reviewing Engadget’s coverage of Demo 08 this morning and I nearly fell out of my seat when I saw skyfire. skyfire is a mobile browser that claims to bring a PC browsing experience to the mobile phone for the first time.

From the skyfire site product page:

We’re talking about full-featured PC versions of your favorite web sites. Skyfire gives you speedy page loads, full audio, video, images, dynamic Flash content, advanced Ajax, Java and more – just like your PC.

Of course you know where I’m going with this, if skyfire supports Flash 9 then skyfire also supports Flex. We could be on the verge of taking our Flex apps mobile. To me this news is beyond huge! Imagine the new opportunities that would be created by full Flash/Flex in the mobile space.

At the time of writing, skyfire is in private beta and is only available for Windows mobile 5 & 6 and that only on phones with a full Qwerty keyboard. Their site says that Symbian support is coming soon. I use a Nokia E61i so I’ll have to wait for Symbian support.

You can sign-up for the private beta on the skyfire site.

Here’s a demo of skyfire in action, impressive!
