So as one browser disappears, another gets upgraded! Skyfire 1.1 is now available

From their press release...
QUOTE
What’s new in 1.1?


  • Improved page load times. For sites that take a long time to load, we updated our algorithm to bring you the content much quicker.
  • Improved scrolling and zooming on Symbian. This is a much faster and smoother experience now.
  • Improved reconnect. Skyfire will show clearly when you can start interacting with the web page in case it previously timed out and disconnected (to save battery life).
  • WML support. If you are browsing to mobile sites that use the old mobile WML markup, you can now view the content.
  • Improved mobile website support. Mobile.* websites are now rendered automatically as mobile with the exception of mobile.yahoo.com since it is a PC site.
  • Page up/down navigation via short-key: You can use now ‘2’ and ‘8’ to easily navigate one page up or down. Great for reading articles. Now the short-key for invoking the Superbar is ‘*’. Please note that on some devices with a non-standard keyboard layout, short-keys may behave differently since this is phone specific.
  • Updated Plug-ins: For Flash, Silverlight and QuickTime we have the newest versions to give you more compatibility with more sites.
Fixes in this release

  • Skyfire quits on startup on Windows Mobile 6.5 devices: It affected a limited number of 6.0 and 6.1 devices as well. (Fixed Issue 7369)
  • Samsung Propel and Jack (AT&T): Could not uninstall Skyfire if the SIM card was missing. Fixed.
Known issues in this release

  • Short-keys inconsistent on non-standard keyboard. On some keyboard layouts (half-qwerty, dual keyboards), the short-keys do not work as expected. (Issue 7498, 7408, 7581)





Well so far so good, it seems to load pages faster than the previous version, and has no problems with any website or video I've tried.


(Not sure why the "Modaco Man" has a USA top on though, maybe something to do with server-side rendering?)


Anyhow, give it a try and as usual, let us know your opinions smile.gif


Download it from http://get.skyfire.com/ or m.skyfire.com from your mobile browser.

Music to my ears!!

Just as I finally get flash working on opera for my compact v I wished skyfire would update. which they did. if they could make better use of vga screens like opera then it would be a killer app. Have to say so far its doing well. zooming is better. text wrapping would be good as well.

That's due to Hulu blocking SkyFire's servers from allowing us to view the video thru the SkyFire redirect servers.
