Skyfire boosted the video stream quality
Anyone else get the newsletter yet?

I just got it and tried out Skyfire... and it wasn't choppy because of the device, it was choppy because of their compression ratio. Youtube plays smooth as butter fullscreen on my Mogul now.

They've also tweaked the server-side rendering engine. Sites that used to have issues before (ie., Engadget) don't really seem to.

Sorry for the new thread but I figured this was news that didn't belong in the support thread and should be shared with all.

Re: Skyfire boosted the video stream quality!
If youtube videos are your thing, you guys will want to check out Kinoma.

I have issues with Kinoma in its current state (that tech support is working to resolve), but one thing is definitely does it produce absolutely STUNNING youtube videos (MUCH better than Skyfire which I also use)

Re: Skyfire Support
The absolute best broswer out. I could even use my facebook chat with this. Those types of dynamic applications that change within the browser are not available in opera or opera mini. The video quality is still a little choppy but it works for a quick download. If I need anything clear theres alway ie and tcp/mp for that.

There are +/- signs on the top bar... click them until the viewing box is the size you want then drag it over the video and click it
