Skyfire web browser is out

I don't like it yet. As a browser, it's average at best. For flash, just too much not there. 1 million videos is a bit mis-leading when you consider clips, the 30 sec. to 3 minute variety are part of that 1mill. And there are lots of them. I wants sports, NFL replay or NFL game access would be cool but I'm not expecting those to work, ever.

But overall, it stinks ;).

You can always use Safari for Flash. Oppssss. No you can't.
 
Anyone know if you can save your usernames and passwords in sky fire? I can't figure it out.
 
I bought it but have tried a couple of Web sites that use flash videos and it hasn't worked yet.

Hopefully they'll add more Web sites soon! I'd save your money until it becomes a more fully formed app.

Does it make video from ESPN3 viewable?

Nope...and it has real issues with channelsurfing.net. The two sites I'd still like flash ability for. Csurfing.net actually did work for me for a few of the live channel feeds (cnet, NBC, and a couple others). But I couldn't get any of today's football games to load. It gets to the flash page and says "no video found"?

I'm with most. Seems like a decent backup browser to my favorite....Atomic Web. Also lacking on skyfire and Safari is the ability to change font size without affecting page size (ie, without zooming:)). Easily my favorite part of atomic web.

Skyfire's campfire feature is very sweet though. Instant social integration will be a grand slam IMHO. I think they've done a helluva job and it should only improve with more purchasing support.

Not...what about opera? It's my favorite for my iPhone:)

Have you tried NFL Game Rewind? That's the only reason I'd consider buying this app...
