Opera 9.7 is the real deal....

QFT. Can't wait.

And it's about time skyfire puts out a version one.
Been waiting forever for this.

Do you realize that your signature takes up about 16 lines of text? Does YOUR sig. have to be that big???

Re: Skyfire 1.0 Is Out

greetings. skyfire has put an update bringing it to version 1.0.0.12113
Heres a list of improvements/fixes

Reduced Memory footprint. We reduced the memory footprint of Skyfire for both Symbian and Windows Mobile devices. This should help folks reporting issues on memory constrained devices.
Fixes in this release
History is presented in the proper order.
Cookies in the UK data center are handled more reliably.
Sharing links via SMS are handled more reliably.
Reconnect correctly loads the last page in history plus weâ€™ve improved reliability.
Site specific issues have been resolved for Rooftopcommedy.com and thefind.com.
Zoom buttons behave properly and disappear after a couple of seconds.
Default browser setting works more consistently.
Text entry on Symbian has been improved with one caveat below.
Known issues in this release
Multi-line text entry on Symbian: Skyfire might exit the text entry mode when the user is choosing a word from the predictive text list. Plus, using the down key might NOT get you out of text entry mode. If this happens, use enter or center OK. Issues 7149 & 7112
Superbar state on Symbian: sometimes when you enter into the superbar with the cursor, existing the Superbar via the â€˜cancelâ€™ option will navigate to the previous page. Issue 7158
Change connection on Symbian: Choosing the search WLAN option might not change the WLAN connection. Issue 6633.
Samsung Jack (AT&T): Because of a security policy on this device, it will not allow uninstall of Skyfire if there is not SIM card in the phone. Simply insert a SIM card.
Thanks,

Re: Skyfire 1.0 Is Out

Darn, hulu no longer works with skyfire. :( bahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Re: Skyfire 1.0 Is Out

the hulu issue is getting worked on as we speak. ive been talking with omaha dave from skyfire all day. make sure your end is good by going to skyfire, then help\about\ more info. user id should start with: 10. 100 ect

Re: Skyfire 1.0 Is Out

Works well and opens vids on the flash sites that don't work with pocket IE 8 or Opera.

So the big question is, when are they going to start asking for a fee for Skyfire? It's not like they request donations and I'm sure they're not planning to get rich off their mobile portal page. The app has to go through their servers to pull pages, so I suspect eventually they'll shut down older versions and go fee based.
