I agree completely ... Iris continues to disappoint, even though the developers have made some progress. It still confounds me, why a decent mobile browser still eludes us. The new Skyfire is a little better ... the new beta of Opera Mobile is a little better ... but if we're entirely honest ... none of them are very good. So for now, I just continue with Opera Mini for the quick and dirty day to day stuff, and haul out Skyfire when I need video. In light of Safari and Palm's new Web OS, it just doesn't seem like we should be lagging so far behind.
