Comments on: Skyfire mobile browser bulks up for open beta

Skyfire releases its beta to all Windows Mobile users and upgrades it with features grown-up enough to rival the Opera Mobile browser.

Very cool, before my Motorola Q died a few months ago I was using their browser and it was very nice. If you have Windows Mobile or Symbian I highly suggest checking this out.

Wow... still no copy and paste (you CAN highlight text... do your homework, cnet) and no "save target as". Super weak. Browsers aren't that useful without these capabilities.

Yeah I know I NEVER go online to look up information or communicate with people.

Have fun looking at unsaveable text and media, and communicating without copy and paste. Navigating alone without copy and paste sucks, especially when you're typing on a touchscreen and getting cell phone service speeds. Hopefully you have every page you ever want to visit bookmarked.

This is STILL THE BEST MOBILE BROWSER OUT THERE....it definitely needs the copy and paste option, save target as option and VOLUME CONTROL option too :)

Much better than PIE anyday and the new update makes it even better. Still needs a few things but does amazing things

This is weak. Did Jessica Dolcourt use previous versions? The public beta is garbage. The private beta version preceding it is the best mobile browser that I have ever used. However, the new beta does not function well and is slower at this point. I can understand if the author tested the public beta prior to its release, but for now I am sticking with my previous version. The ability to drag and resize the zoom box has been taken away. In my opinion this was one of the strongest features that complimented the browser known multimedia capabilities. I have both version open and have been comparing them all day. The only thing I can hope is that the performance improves in the days to come. The functionality will still be lacking.
