With the much ado about Flash content, the Evo is often skipped in the discussion since it has Android 2.2 with Flash 10.1 built in. Fortunately or not, there are other options available as well. Since most content that is programmed in Adobe's Flash isn't optimized for mobile devices, side server technology can really aid in playback of things such as videos or podcasts.
Skyfire is exactly the type of application that mobile devices can use to get the best Flash performance, without compromising the network or battery life of the device. The way Skyfire works is pretty simple: you enter a website, a computer somewhere else goes to the site, streams the content to their compression software and then it is beamed back to your device over your wireless connection. Basically, they preview and compress the content before you even see it.
Skyfire does a perfect job of this service and now that they have their "Facebook Integration" built in, they have a simple way to share those mobile pages, videos and more to the popular social site in seconds. Skyfire is an excellent addition to any Android 2.1 or before device. Just make sure you have a strong battery and visit Adobe.com for all the Flash friendly sites for mobile devices before the first day is over.
