Skyfire 1.0 Is Out
 
2 Attachment(s)
Skyfire announced that its beta mobile browser has reached a 1.0 release for both Windows Mobile touch/non-touch and S60 devices. Skyfire supports web standards and plug-ins such as Flash 10, Silverlight 2, Ajax, and Javascript. This allows end users to watch video content on web sites such as Hulu and YouTube as they browse from their mobile phones. The 1.0 release brings with it improved navigation, zooming and interaction, as well as faster launch, a new search function and better power optimization. One new feature includes the ability to type in search queries or URLs while the application itself is first launching. The 1.0 release is available for WinMo and S60 devices starting today.

Uploaded latest cabs. ver. 1.0.0.12113 Windows Mobile touch and non-touch

What’s new in this 1.0 update?
  • 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 we’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.

I just started playing with it but these are the things I did notice right off the bat:

(taken from the release notes)

Thumbnail interaction. Now you can click on links immediately after the page loads without having
to zoom in. This enhancement is especially helpful for high resolution phones, and for familiar sites
where you know right away where you want to click. It makes getting to the content you want on
the page simpler, quicker and more efficient.

Improved zoom. Double-tap or double-click to zoom over any element, including links, images or
videos. The zoom interaction is smoother and more responsive as well. Best of all: when you zoom
in you will get readable text instantly.

Enhanced navigation. When you navigate back or forward, you return to the last viewport (e.g.
zoom level and portion of the page). This eliminates the need to pan and zoom into the section you
were viewing on the previous page. Skyfire remembers the viewport even when you select a page
from your history. We have also added shortcut keys, (9) for forward and (7) for backward
navigation.

Improved page handling. Enhancements have been made especially for AJAX-intensive sites such as
Facebook and Gmail. When larger parts of the page get updated, the client will more quickly and
accurately reflect this. In addition, now, we support full-width iFrames in Skyfire.

Fast start. We changed both the sequence and behavior of the Skyfire launch so you get started as
quickly as possible. You can type a search or URL in the Superbar while Skyfire is connecting in the

background. You can put Skyfire to work before the start page is even loaded. Plus, we’ve impr
oved

connection performance.
