Skyfire is down 1/19/10

Hey guys!
Just a heads up.
If you havent noticed yet, Skyfire has been down. Just wanted to save some people the time of trying to fix/reinstall Skyfire. (Like I did)

Here is the announcement:

Xemplifying the danger of a centralized system such as Opera Mini and also Skyfire, the browser service has just gone down after a power issue in their data centre.

The service, which is currently not reachable via the browser, uses virtualized Mozilla-based browsers to support full internet browsing, including flash video, on Windows Mobile and Nokia phones. This means then there is no connection to the data centre, there is no browsing either.

Skyfire is in the process of recovering, and hope to be fully operational soon.

Most other browsers on the Windows Mobile platform, such as Opera Mobile, uses local rendering, and are immune from the particular issue.

Interesting! I just used it this morning, but just tried it and it is indeed down. The only time I use it is when I want to stream from channelsurfing.net for UFC fights and such. Hopefully they fix it before I need to use it again!

It's working again!
