I think it is terrible that this software went under and bought out by blackberry. I liked IRIS Browser, but i felt on my device it was buggy and ran slow. I really like Skyfire a lot. The fact that it is the only mobile web browser to support any type of plugin (flash, silverlight, etc) without the user installing anything is a huge plus in my book. It is much lighter than IRIS Browser on my device and it a lot less buggy and more responsive. It is not memory hungry like IRIS browser is (but i bet it runs great on newer devices).

Don't feel too blue about this. There are other great alternatives i came across the net, such as Dorothy Browser and Fennec (Moziilla mobile browser in case anyone was not familiar with it). Bolt is another one as well, but i am not sure if that is user downloadable or if it is just availble to OEM's.

Dorothy Browser is a closed beta for now, but i bet it is gonna be opened soon enough. It is another browser based on Webkit, much like IRIS Browser, so i assume functionality will be similar.
