I have just started using skyfire, a new mobile web browser, this evening and my first reaction is that it’s really living up to the hype.  Skyfire just started beta testing their first S60 iteration and I’m using it on my Nokia E61i over WiFi.  It loads fast and loads everything I’ve tried already. I […]
