The new Facebook Connect features are integrated directly into Skyfire's SkyBar, a cloud-powered toolbar that enables quick content consumption while on the go. It also includes several additions to the browser:

Popular Content – A feature that generates a list of popular web content and prioritizes it based on recommendations from friends.

Fireplace Feed Reader - A filtered Facebook news feed that includes only links to browsable web pages, images and videos posted by friends.

Facebook Like Button - A Like button is placed on every page of the Internet. It's a small convenience, that will minimize the need to scroll around sites searching for their own embedded Like buttons.

Skyfire OneTouch Search - A multi-headed search bar that allows users to enter a search string and then select whether the search should run through Google, Facebook, Twitter, VideoSurf, Digg or Amazon.

Additionally, Facebook is constantly accessible on the SkyBar through Facebook Portal Integration, which pulls up Facebook with one touch at any time during the browsing experience.

Skyfire 3.0 with Facebook Connect is now available through the Android Market. Here's a video of the browser in action:
