Today Skyfire announced that it has acquired kolbysoft, which makes the Steel mobile browser for Android devices. Kolbysoft's Steel browser builds on Android's Webkit browser and makes improvements. Through this acquisition, Skyfire will absorb koblysoft's Android development expertise and plans to introduce a Skyfire Android edition browser in the coming months. Skyfire already offers its browser to the S60 and Windows Mobile platforms, and includes the ability to play Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight video content.

Skyfire is the best browser out there. They precache webpages for you on their servers so its really fast. Not to mention flash and silverlight. Finally can watch Hulu on my phone. Sucks for iphone users, haha.
I know, apple has a really effed up attiude about flash.
