I did try it and it does work, but I am not liking the fact that I can't find my way back to the homepage, and I have as of yet had anyone tell me where the home page button is located on Skyfire.

If you mean the Skyfire homepage, just select the icon that looks like overlaped windows on the tool bar. That shows what tabs you have open. Scroll left or right to get to the original tab.

Skyfire is pretty cool... works with Justin TV, which is nice.. I do not think it is a browser in its own right... I think it's an add on. When I installed it it just had all my links from the default browser.. and the look and feel of it is very simular... so I think it's just an add on for the default browser... very decent for a beta.

Skyfire in not Flash-enabled. Their site servers convert the Flash site content in real-time (on the fly). In fact, they warn you they do this when you install it. Kind of like an on the fly-cookie and site traffic monitor ;) Me thinks they use the info for marketing purposes and sell it.


Skyfire is nothing new, and I always looked at it as being more of a "virtual browser session"...much like a remote desktop. You basically use their servers to "browse the web". As stated, I was hesitant to put personal data (password to XM online, etc) via my mobile browser.
