Skyfire 1.1 Client Released for Symbian and Windows Mobile
Friday, August 28th, 2009
“Skyfire today announces an updates to its web browser, bringing version 1.1 to both Symbian and Windows Mobile smartphones. The new version will improve the performance, especially the speed improvement on the scrolling and zooming. The new version is available at http://get.skyfire.com (at this time I am still getting v1.0 cab from the site)
Check the change log below of the version 1.1.0.13041 for Symbian and version 1.1.0.13052 for Windows Mobile
- Improved page load times.
- Improved scrolling and zooming on Symbian.
- Improved reconnect. Skyfire will show clearly when you can start interacting with the web page in case it previously timed out and disconnected (to save battery life).
- WML support. If you are browsing to mobile sites that use the old mobile WML markup, you can now view the content.
- Improved mobile website support.
- Page up/down navigation via short-key: You can use now ?2? and ?8? to easily navigate one page up or down. Great for reading articles. Now the short-key for invoking the Superbar is *.
- Updated Plug-ins: For Flash, Silverlight and QuickTime we have the newest versions to give you more compatibility with more sites.
- Skyfire quits on startup on Windows Mobile 6.5 devices: It affected a limited number of 6.0 and 6.1 devices as well. (Fixed Issue 7369)
- Multi-line text entry behavior on Symbian: This was an issue when you exited text entry mode with predictive text on, or used the navigation keys. (Fixed Issues 7149 & 7112)
- Superbar state on Symbian: Cancel button did not always exit from Superbar. (Fixed Issue 7156)
- Samsung Propel and Jack (AT&T): Could not uninstall Skyfire if the SIM card was missing. Fixed.
- Short-keys inconsistent on non-standard keyboard. On some keyboard layouts (half-qwerty, dual keyboards), the short-keys do not work as expected. (Issue 7498, 7408, 7581)” via slashphone.com
