Skyfire Beta - Now for Everyone
Last night, the Skyfire browser released a public beta.
Now anyone can download it, registering on the site
http://www.skyfire.com
when registering, you need to specify a mobile phone in the USA, but I managed with a random set of numbers (my apologies to the one who received the SMS in states - it’s like you haven’t had a night there =) the
version for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 is available and for Symbian S60
I had the opportunity to drive Skyfire on HTC P4350 a bit
by the way navigation is arranged - similar to Opera Mini 4 and Opera Mobile 9 beta, but
(rather) Skyfire understands flash - in particular video on YouTube
(b) being a native n APPENDIX - it is not isolated from the rest of the system like Opera Mini
(c) he doesn’t complain about the lack of memory like Opera Mobile 9
(d) he understands ajax sites
(e) it seemed to me that he’s faster (I didn’t run any special tests)
, I generally recommend
it, but soon Fenec from Mozilla is expected - so there will be what to choose
disclaimer from: I have no relationship with Skyfire developers
UPDATE: from the comments here and in LJ the following disadvantages were drawn:
(a) beta does not support high-resolution (VGA) screens
(b) unlike Opera Mini, Skyfire does not compress traffic
( c) does not support devices on WM2003SE
