That's for sure. Using a backend server to do the processing to create a relatively standard package for your display client to show is significantly easier than trying to get a compact browser to process complex pages. I have found that SkyFire does a better job than Opera in some of the stuff I visit/need, but I sort of expected that. On the other hand, Opera works full screen on my RedFly, Skyfire won't even run. The kicker is that SkyFire's backend servers cost money. It's free right now in Beta, but come release, you are gonna see a subscription fee or add based capability. There is no way they can sustain a backend server farm without some continual revenue.
We sure have. I am looking forward to the ubiquitous 1GHz, 2G Ram devices we are going to run this on.
