Default SkyFire 1.1 Browser Released

http://www.skyfire.com/blog/2009/08...11013052-winmo/

"We are excited about our Skyfire 1.1 version. This release focuses on performance improvements for both platforms and specific improvements related to Symbian scrolling and zooming. In addition, we've improved the reconnect experience and mobile website browsing."

SkyFire 1.1 has a number of improvements over the initial 1.0 release. Some of the biggies are:

  • 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 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.

There are more features and fixes listed at the link below. If you want to download it directly to your device, go to m.skyfire.com

The Skyfire Update downloaded (directly) to the Fuze readily enough, and the entire process was done surprisingly quickly - but haven't had enough Play Time to determine whether it is faster / more stable.

Often open Skyfire & find it works well - but also frequently end up shutting it down in favor of Opera, which seems to grant access, or at least Quicker access, to more sites....

Then again, every now & then end up resorting to IE - sometimes due to fact that NEITHER Skyfire NOR Opera will even connect to whatever local Wifi signal is available.
