Skyfire UK release

[hedgemonstahinz]

Ok, So we've all been told about how Skyfire will change the way we use mobile internet. But has anyone got any idea when we will be able to use it. I have my beta code, and I can find nothing regarding its release.

In the USA the Beta has gone down rather well, albeit a few complaints about the fact that the speed is not what was promised.

Any one with Info please add to the thread.:cool:

Skyfire rolls out UK mobile browser
by Dan Leahul, Brand Republic 12-Dec-08, 11:10

LONDON - The Skyfire mobile web browser is available for download in the UK and the company claims its internet speeds are the fastest in the market.

The browser advertises itself as the "real web" experience, with proprietary software that makes mobile browsing comparable to using a PC.
Free to download, Skyfire ensures users "will not encounter unrecognizable content, unfamiliar page layouts, or missing content, like they do with other mobile browsers."

The browser is compatible with any internet technology, including advanced Flash, Ajax, Silverlight and Java. It also supports Quicksilver, QuickTime and Windows Media video.

The beta version was successfully rolled out in the US and Canada in February and is available for a number of handsets, including most Nokia E or N phones.
Nitin Bhandari, Skyfire chief executive, said: "Consumers in the UK have been promised the 'real web' on their phone 'real fast' only to be disappointed by slow rendering, no Flash support, error messages, watered down WAP pages or second-rate mobile versions of their favourite site.
"Skyfire has remedied those ills at a speed not seen before on the mobile platform. By extending the PC web experience to mobile phones, we are fundamentally changing the way people use their phones."

[liamhere]

is the uk something special....i.e will bbc iplayer work out of the box???

where is the uk download link....or am i missing something?

Well, i've downloaded it onto my universal today (go to www.skyfire.com on your device) and it seems to work ok. A few crashes and things. it doesn't like "waking up" and the today plug in doesn't work properly but the browser itself works.

Youtube works out of the box but iPlayer doesn't (on my 3G connection anyway, will try on wifi later)
