Picks up creator of the Steel Android browser for undisclosed sum.
The move reflects the growing activity in the mobile browser space as internet use migrates to mobile from the PC.
Skyfire is the creator of the Skyfire mobile browser, which enables the “full internet” experience on the small screen. Michael Kolb, founder of kolbysoft, will become chief client architect for all of Skyfire’s browsers across operating systems.
Kolb noted that users of the existing version of the Steel browser will still be able to use the current version, but will be offered upgrades to Skyfire Android edition once it is released.
Skyfire uses advanced cloud-computing technology to enable users to access any web content including Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight video.
