Skyfire Update Version 0.6.0.4489

It’s no secret that I have really liked Skyfire. Version 0.5 was excellent with a few bugs. I sent some feedback to them along with what I am sure is a ton of other Beta Testers and they listened! Some of my suggestions was editing bookmarks, and multi line editing for Google! Version 0.6 has all of these in it! I am really excited about this release and have been playing with it all morning. Update came at 6:30am! (zzzzzzz)

Here are the updates log:

  • Multi-line text entry (2000 character limit)
  • Auto-complete text entry
  • Paste into URL or search
  • Ability to delete bookmarks
  • Multiple zoom modes for touch screen phones
  • Double tap to zoom in and zoom out
  • Support for custom virtual keyboards (SIP)
  • Web search shortcut in softkey menu
  • Access to Windows Mobile Taskbar in softkey menu
  • Persistent settings for Smartfit, Mute and Zoom size
  • Support for 12 key and 1/2 QWERTY Devices
  • Password Masking
  • Backlight usage based on system settings
  • OK button sends Skyfire to the background

This is a lot of updates! I think Skyfire may have launched themselves to the front of the Browser Race with this latest release. Check out a ton of screen shots after the break.

    It would be nice if people outside US could enjoy it...
  • Perhaps a download link to an "available" beta would be a nice addition to the post ;)

    I signed up months ago n nevr got a text. This is rediculous. I wish they would hurry up.
  • I'd love to play.... but unfortunately I seem to be on the wrong continent
  • Who?
    You forgot the changes they've made for the worse. No Rhapsody or Yahoo Music streaming anymore. But they still advertise those features on their website. Pathetic.
