Whats new in 1.0

Key Features of Skyfire 1.0

While performance has improved from the Beta version, here is some of what Skyfire 1.0 offers:

* Thumbnail interaction: Now you can click on links immediately after the page loads without having to zoom in. This enhancement is especially helpful for high resolution phones, and for familiar sites where you know right away where you want to click.
* Improved Zoom: Double-tap or double-click to zoom over any element, including links, images or videos. The zoom interaction is smoother and more responsive as well.
* Enhanced Navigation: When you navigate back or forward, you return to the last viewport (e.g. zoom level and portion of the page). Skyfire remembers even the viewport when you select a page from your history. You also have shortcut keys, (9) for forward and (7) for backward navigation.
* Fast start: Skyfire changed both the sequence and behavior of the browser launch so you get started as quickly as possible. You can type a search or URL in the Superbar while Skyfire is connecting in the background. Start up was noticeably faster with 1.0 than the Beta versions.
* Reconnect to last state: When you leave Skyfire in the background Skyfire will disconnect to preserve battery life. When you restore the browser it will reload the same page to the same zoom level and focus.
* Enhanced search results: Google results now include video, news articles, local results all blended on a single results page and ordered by relevance. Vertical search categories are still available.

Known issues with Skyfire 1.0 Final

Skyfire does have some known issues with this release which include:

* HTTP Authentication (e.g. the native browser dialog that asks for username and password when going to certain sites) is not supported.
* Text entry into Flash or Silverlight plug-ins is not supported.
* Skyfire does not support ‘local storage mode for plug-ins. Thus the following will be affected: Netflix media player, Pandora media player, Rhapsody media player.

Sometimes it works right after a soft reset, but after i've used other programs, it won't work at all.

are you using the task manager in the upper right and closing the apps after you use them? just hitting the x button doesnt close the apps just minimizes.

I have the X button set to close instead of minimize, but I also checked the task manager. Nothing but active sync was running and I closed that.....If it's a question of memory, do you think SPB mobile shell 3 could be the culprit? I've never had a problem with the previous versions though.
