One of the best features of Skyfire’s server-based web rendering is how it can play almost any type of embedded video. This is unique among mobile browsers, and Skyfire is pushing that advantage with the announcement today that it’s inked an agreement with Ustream TV that will see Skyfire add Ustream as a featured bookmark in the browser.
“Live video from partners like Ustream fit perfectly into our plan to bring the best of the full web to the mobile generation,” said Tracy DeMiroz, Skyfire VP Marketing. “Without any development required to have a mobile presence, Ustream immediately gives their users access to all the content broadcast from their website. We know Skyfire users consume a lot of media during their day. In fact, on inauguration day a vast majority of our users were watching Obama on Ustream. That’s why we’re excited to include Ustream in the Skyfire bookmarks. In just one click, our users will be watching live television.”
