Some of the biggies are:</p><ul><li>Improved page load times. For sites that take a long time to load, we updated our algorithm to bring you the content much quicker.</li><li>Improved reconnect.

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. :(
