Android: Skyfire launches 4.0 version mobile browser with 8 new features

Today Skyfire, maker of the award-winning and popular mobile browser, announces the release of Skyfire 4.0 for Android, its highly anticipated next-generation Android browser. Skyfire 4.0 for Android allows users to personalize their SkyBarTM toolbar, while adding eight new SkyBar features. While the basic browser and toolbar will remain free to Android users, Skyfire is also introducing a premium in-app purchase to enable its Video feature, which draws on Skyfire’s cloud-based servers to optimize videos from across the web.  As a thank you to over 3 million early beta users of the app, all existing users will be “grandfathered” in for free access for the lifetime of their device

Skyfire’s SkyBar toolbar is now scrollable and customizable, allowing for a larger and more personalized number of features to be positioned on the toolbar. Beyond the ‘Video’, ‘Facebook’, ‘Fireplace’, ‘Popular’, ‘Ideas’ & ‘Like’ buttons, Skyfire has added full Twitter, Groupon and Google Reader integration, a ‘Share’ button, Sports, News and Finance feeds, and a ‘Settings’ button.

Skyfire for Android is one of the most popular applications in the Android Market and has seen over 3 million downloads since launching in April 2010. The mobile browser was upgraded to critical acclaim in November 2010 with integrated social media and Facebook capabilities, and the app currently has a user rating of 4.5 stars out of a possible five stars, based on tens of thousands of reviews in the Android Market. This latest update will continue to build on Skyfire’s strong track record of innovation.

With v4.0, Skyfire for Android will begin offering its video optimization as an optional $2.99 premium feature, unlocked via an in-app purchase after a three day free trial.  The feature pays for itself for most users around the world by allowing users to watch more video with less data usage (where users have capped or metered data plans), as well as increasing battery life.

As part of a special, limited time offer, Skyfire is offering the video optimization feature free to all Verizon customers downloading Skyfire 4.0 for Android.  Skyfire will be available in the VCastTM Apps section of the Android Market for Verizon users during this promotion.

Skyfire 4.0 for Android, including the video optimization feature, will remain free for all of the over 3 million beta testers around the globe who have used the app to date, in gratitude for their support in helping Skyfire grow and improve.

“With Skyfire 4.0 for Android, we’re enabling users to customize their browser toolbar to fit their interests, from sports, to social networks, to finance, news, and local deals,” said Jeff Glueck, CEO of Skyfire. “While the basic browser will remain free, with the launch of Google’s Android In-App purchase platform, the time has come to make our video cloud acceleration service a premium feature that reflects the investment we make to support each user in our cloud.  We deliver state-of-the art web video tuned to your current mobile connection bandwidth, saving 75% on average data loads. For users who enjoy web video, or who are on metered data, the service can pay for itself in the first month of use.”

New Features in Skyfire 4.0 for Android include:

Customizable SkyBar – Skyfire’s toolbar is now configurable and expandable, enabling users to create their own flavor of Skyfire experience.  With the new scrollable SkyBar, users now have access to fourteen Skyfire features and have the ability to enable, disable and position each button as they see fit.

New SkyBar Features –Skyfire has added eight new features:

o   Twitter – Login to the ‘Twitter’ Button to have one-touch access to Twitter streams.  Tweet, search, and check in with the Twittersphere without leaving the Skyfire browser.  (And yes, watch videos shared on Twitter with just one click.)
o   Groupon – With the ‘Groupon’ Button, the SkyBar is now delivering nearby deals so you can do a quick check on the deal of the day at all times.
o   Share – Easily share websites, articles, pictures & videos with the touch of the ‘Share’ button, a feature previously accessible through the Skyfire menu.
o   Google Reader – Use the ‘Google Reader’ Button to keep up with feeds from your favorite sites.  Google Reader keeps you in the know by constantly checking your favorite news sites and blogs for new content.
o   Sports, News & Finance – Three new buttons, ‘Sports’, ‘News’ & ‘Finance’, have been added to the SkyBar to bring one-touch access to the latest events.
o   Settings – The ‘Settings’ button could easily be labeled the ‘Customize’ button.  Use this to enable, disable or position SkyBar features to your personal preferences.

·       General Tips – We’ve added a host of new in-browser tips, tricks & tutorials to help users get them most out of browsing with Skyfire.

T-Mobile G-Slate Hands-On: Who Wants 3D Lite

Under the hood, there's not much separating the T-Mobile G-Slatefrom its nearest known competitor, theMotorola Xoom. Both run stock builds of Android Honeycomb. Both use the Tegra 2 chipset. Both have 1 gig of RAM. Both come equipped with 5 megapixel and 2 megapixel rear/front cameras. So what's different? Aside from size, the G-Slate uses T-Mobile's 4G-ish network and has "3D" capabilities, if you really want to call it that.

T-Mobile's 4G-ish network and has "3D" capabilities, if you really want to call it that.

At 8.9-inches, it's noticeably smaller than a 10-inch tablet, but not so small that you're yearning for the extra real estate. Like the Xoom, the G-Slate is a half-inch thick and it weighs about 1.4 pounds, so it's a bit heavier in the hand than the iPad.

T-Mobile's 4G mobile broadband is certainly faster than most 3G networks and can load pages and videos in a reasonable amount of time. Reception issues are a non-issue (around NYC, at least). But again, this is not LTE, nor is it WiMax. It's HSPA that's been beefed up.

When it comes to the 3D functionality, I'm not really sure why they bothered. The display doesn't support 3D video files. The stereoscopic cameras shoot in 3D, but you need to output it to a 3D-capable display to be able to view anything you shoot. And their solution for 3D on the tablet is anaglyphic 3D recording (and viewing) of videos and photos. Unfortunately, this isn't 1995, and most people aren't going to be impressed by stuff popping out at them in red and blue (at least, I hope not). Simply put, 3D is a gimmick on the G-Slate.

As for the other aspects of the G-Slate, navigating through the Honeycomb UI feels smooth, and apps are generally speedy. The browser zips through pages that aren't burdened with photos and Flash and javascript, but tends to hiccup when faced with any of those items.

The Flash 10.2 beta is also available for the G-Slate, and it works...mostly. It'll play videos smaller than 720p and load most Flash elements in web pages. But its inclusion is not life changing and HTML5 video is still smoother on this thing. Often, there are noticeable artifacts during playback and a bit of choppiness. But if you really need to view Flash content, it does the job.

The 1280x768 screen looks sharp at 168 dpi, but has a bit of a greenish tint to it. It tracks taps and finger presses well, though scrolling could be a bit more responsive (which becomes apparent while web browsing).

So other than some irrelevant 3D features, and mobile carriers, the G-Slate isn't all that different from the Xoom—they basically have the same guts. If you're debating between the two, it'll mostly come down to size preference.

Samsung phones are not considered interesting 3D, yet

I do not think Samsung will not have problems to launch phones with 3D display is more a question of priorities and market research, but if there were doubts Koreans gave their views.

The head of mobile division in the UK, Jim Powell, spoke at the Mobile World Congress on the use of 3D displays in phones, reporting that they are not planning to release any short or medium term.

"We are World Leaders in 3D, But We Have not seen a Need for 3D on mobiles as yet for UK customers ... There's a trade off with when it comes to thickness and pocketablity when it comes to Into Adding 3D mobile phone as well ... "

Samsung is currently a sales leader in devices that have to do with the 3D visualization of contents, so they have the technology, but still think there is no need for a phone of this nature.

The phone size is also something we do not like Samsung, which is working very seriously with thinness and weight of the terminals, leaving aside the processing power. Of all forms wish good luck to the competition.

"... We just do not see [3D] is Needed yet - good luck to the innovators Though, it will be interesting to see if it works, and if it does you'll see a response from Samsung quickly."

The comments came as a result of media interest that has caused the powerful LG 3D Optimus, a showcase technology from LG and is also a statement of intent of what they want the Koreans in the business of Smartphones.

Optimus LG 3D: Mobile 3D is the first officer and joins the ranks of the Dual-Core CPU

LG showed their teeth in the MWC 2011. This morning LG officially unveiled the 3D Optimus, the first phone with 3D effect without glasses. But the Korean commitment to the three dimensions will not stay in the effect of the screen and features a dual camera to take pictures and record video in three dimensions.

To move smoothly the show three-dimensional 3D Optimus will have a dual core CPU latest generation who will lead the orchestra and Froyo Android operating system.

Optimus LG 3D specs

3D Optimus emphasize, how could it be otherwise, its 4.3-inch 3D display, an LCD panel with WVGA resolution (800 × 480 pixels) allows us to enjoy three-dimensional images without special glasses.

His chances in the three dimensions do not end there, since it also allows us to take 3D images thanks to its dual 5-megapixel camera, as well as record video at 720p 3D or 2D with Full HD 1080p resolution.

But LG also believes that beauty is inside, so he blessed the 3D Optimus OMAP CPU with 4 dual-core 1 GHz signed by Texas Instrument. Each core has its own memory and uses its own channel of communication. The graphics will be borne by PowerVR SGX GPU like the Samsung 540 S. Galaxy Therefore, the 3D Optimus will not beat to the rhythm of a Nvidia Tegra 2 as suspected, but performance should be very similar.

In connectivity is also left over, we can play our videos on your TV via HDMI and DLNA wireless network. Of course, we will have WiFi and GPS. Its internal storage memory is 8 GB and may be extended through microSD.

Dimensional game without 3D glasses and YouTube

LG could not boast of three dimensions not including content. The Nintendo 3DS opened the closure of three-dimensional gaming without glasses, and 3D Optimus has taken the mobile. It goes on sale with three 3D games Gameloft: Asphalt 6 Origins, Let's Golf 3D and 3D NOVA.

On the other hand we share our 3D videos on YouTube with a specific application for it. The future, folks!

On sale in May

There have been wet with the price (which depend on operator subsidies), but clarified the month of release: May 2011. The least we like to hit the stores with Android 2.2 (Froy), but we promise to be upgraded.

And so they announce ...



LG wants to demonstrate that 3D is good for something and do it with three videos that try to illustrate three situations in which the three dimensions we are good: personal, business, and yoga ... One of the most disturbing marketing campaigns that a server recalls.
