    What is Skyfire and is it designed for M8?
    Can't wait to play with the Meizu MX!

    Currently, Skyfire runs on Windows Mobile (smartphones and PPC) and Nokia N and E Series (Symbian S60, 3rd Edition) phones. (quote from there site)
    You can get more info from their web site:get.skyfire.com
    There is also demo on utube.

    It looks nice. However, there are very WinMo apps that work directly on the M8. Maybe you could ask the developers to port it?

    It doesn't look like a giant company, so a request like that might actually reach the programmers. Personally, I'm looking forward to Fennec, the mobile version of Firefox. It'll be open source, which means that a Windows CE port could probably be made easily. They might even be able to release a M8 specific version.

    Skyfire looks pretty good. I'm not sure about this, but maybe it will work on CE even if it is designed for Mobile.

    If you can find someone to port IE from wm6.5, I would suggest it. It is GREAT (I was surprised too haha). I tried Iris and Skyfire and I did not like them at all.

If your phone is NOT listed below then it either is not on a supported platform or we have not tested and verified that Skyfire will work on your device.
