This is what's so annoying...why don't they just...oh I don't know, CHARGE us for it?! I mean, I like free things just like the next person but if you have a solid product, people would be willing to buy it! I know I'd pay for something like this...but now instead we're going to have to be bombarded with ads as usual and then who knows if this will be able to stick around...

I agree with Spyked. I would pay for this, and others who wouldn't could opt to receive ads. And it is annoying because it's not just this product. Why aren't we all watching tv on-line with the choice to either pay with no ads or free with ads like the networks already offer for some shows.

Until I can surf on my phone with skyfire or something like it I won't phone surf at all. But, I will jump ship from my current carrier to somebody else if they offer a good browsing experience.

I bet the guy could make more $$ by ingesting ads to he's software then selling it(where ppl might hesitate on paying for it).
Thats one of the major reasons that most softwares come free but w/ ads att. to them.
If I could i would get into the software and get the ads out of there, thats an option since the software is free :).
There's allways ways to get around as long as you got something to work with in the first place.

I have the beta version of the browser and I think it is great. I would definitely pay for this. I cant wait for the final version.
