There are advantages and disadvantages of Skyfire. I like that fact that i can watch episodes of my fav tv shows that i miss, but it still does not support certain web sutes such as hulu, even though the browser claims full flash (bummer). Also, i noticed that the server goes down quite a bit, but other than that it's a decent but not a very good browser. Oh well, at least i can still comment on Afterdawnland using this browser. =) - BLUEBOY

I don't know howcome I'm not able to load the PC version of Myspaceusing the browser. It doesn't matter if I go to yahoo and search for it or explicitly type in the address, it will only load the mobile site. Also, collegehumor's site loads fine but whenever I click on a video, it plays some weird ad instead of the video I wanted to watch. As for the Hulu, I've noticed that problem as well. It won't play videos from them or theonion.com or stuff from southparkstudios.com. Aside from those shortcomings, I think it's the best mobile browser available.
