Skyfire is a Mobile browser still in private beta that works by  interactively streaming web browsing from a server to your phone and back. this means that you can run the same full web experience you have in your pc. that includes Silverlight content. and if that includes silverlight. it also means that you can use it to watch the NBC olympics broadcast from your phone.

This is of course exciting. that means not only having a full web experience in your phone but also having access to the same RIA web experience you have in the PC in your phone. Flex, flash, Silverlight and more than likely JavaFX whenever it finally launches.  having all that also means you will be able to have access to 99%of all online widgets. the Skyfire browser will support Windows Mobile and S60 nokia phones.

The only unfortunate thing is that it is USA only. so anyone not in the USA is out of luck. hopefully they will open up once they launch.
