As you may have read in my previous post, I have signed up for the beta release of the new Skyfire Mobile web browser. As of this week, I have finally received my beta download. Testing it out for the first time was pretty cool. It definitely takes some practice and getting used to, but the way this new mobile browser displays pages is unlike anything seen before in the mobile world. It displays the real internet (no made for mobile phone pages) and practically lets you surf the web as if you were on a desktop.

Flaws to be worked out

There are a few issues to be worked out as there are with all new products. What I have come across so far have been minor. I was surfing the United States Postal Service website and filling out a form when it would no longer load the next page in line. It didn’t give me an error, but rather loaded the same page over again. Another difficulty I would like to see improved is the zooming in feature. It seems to zoom in too much and sometime I need to back outwards. As for now, that’s it. I will report back with more updates. If you have a question or website you would like me to test, send in a comment.
