Has anyone tried Skyfire? ITs apparently in private beta (new browser)..
http://www.betanews.com/article/New_mobile_browser_enables_Flash_video_through_serverside_rendering/1201541565
looks pretty nice, but you have to signup for the beta and download it (invite etc)
cj
not exactly private
it looks like you need a code when you go to the site but its not required. Im gona try it on my tilt..hopefully its a winner!
Here's an active Thread in the General forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363205

Good luck =) That code you enter in you'll get in a text message after you have signed up for the Beta. (which btw, no one here has gotten the code yet).
I got it tonight, posted it on the kaiser forum to share.
here it is.
By the way try netfront 3.5, it's good too.
Works on 8525
Works fine on my 8525. Took about two minutes to get up and running from the time I got the text until I downloaded and installed. Pages load very fast. YouTube works. Getting used to the zoom feature is a little different, but after just a few minutes of use, I like it.
MercuryTYTN and Visini: do you guys happen to remember around the time that you signed up for the beta? I'm wondering how far behind I am in the queue having signed up on Jan 29.

Alot of us signed up on the 28th and still have not received an invite, so no they did not forget you. It's first come first serve, alot of people signed up early on the 28th so they are getting to those people first.

Already signed up...just wish I could play around with it. Looks very very very nice.

Just applied...looks very nice!
Damn someone has to have this!
Skyfire
Im signed up also thanks for the info. I been waiting for a better browser. Is this made by mozilla? Any other software out there to test?
Just signed up myself. Hopefully this will prove to be better then Opera.
i signed up and waiting looks good only downside i dont have 3g dame tmobile edge!
signed up this morning and waiting for an invite. will post up first impressions when it is sent.
Signed up a few min ago. . . Seems to me that they are trying to copy safari, also if you look at the video, flash is choppy because its on a kaiser. . . HTC you blew it big time.
Check out this link. Pics of it on a Kaiser.

Signed up also.
I wonder how well the server-side caching will actually work. I know similar technology is used by "dial-up" companies, but that only works with text, not multimedia...
Engadget link...
I'm signed up too. I just hope this is as good as it seems, if it is it will be just what i was waiting for.

"Copyright 2008 Skyfire Labs, Inc".
Damn it with this U.S.-only crap.. Still no decent browser for me (don't even get me started on Opera)...
I also signed up, no its not by Mozilla, althogh Mozilla is trying to make a mobile version of Firefox, which also looks good.
Looks awesome. Signed up and awaiting trials to start
US Only, For Now
It's not reasonable to expect a new product like this that depends upon a scaled architecture as its user base grows to be launched worldwide. It's been developed in USA, so it will be available here, first. Skyfire clearly state it's bound for other platforms and geographies, as well.
Todd/Indy
not affilliated with Skyfire; not a tester yet and waiting as impatiently as anyone else
Next Week...
Update to skyfire blog is posted at their site. Sounds like it's not far off! Looks like the push is on for Europe/Asia and Symbian OS, too.

Problems with Skyfire
Installed it on my Kaiser.
It starts fine - "Starting Up", "Connecting" , but after 15-20 seconds says "Lost network connection. Please, try again later"
And the only chice i have is to click "EXIT" button.
How to fix this ?
How many people have actually got Skyfire already?
I am wondering how many people already started with the beta. If you got an invite how and when did you get it?. I signed up on the 01/29/08, I have not received anything other than the confirmation email, but I have read that they are backed up. Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

PPCGeeks website is down... could this mean the unlocker is here...?
thats what i was thinking and hoping!
I'm doubting it.
htc-unlocks.com does not have it up yet
yeah, I tried a few times also, and couldn't get on. Hhopefully it clears soon, and it doesnt neccessarily mean the locker is there, maybe too many people are on the site in anticipation, or maybe the site is experiencing other issues, but hopefully, it is because of the unlocker!
They are probably just getting us Pro2 owners hopes up. lol
Somethin' we'll all just have to hold our breaths for. When it comes, it'll be a swarm!
Yup. I can see it now.... When it comes to me attempting to download it... the server will be overloaded.
The anticipation is killing me! the rhodium page from htc-unlocks also dropped off. It was previously up this morning. Hmmmm!
The unlocker is already out...... for mods and chefs only.
just read Mighty's Twitter Post from yesterday maybe its a clue

Mighty made a similar comment on the 22nd and obviously it didn't come out then either. I'm not getting my hopes up, but it would be awesome to get the HSPL today.
Yes they shut down the whole site just to release the tp2 cdma unlocker
1256756328 is what the "HSPLBot" says the eta is on the eliteteam channel.
that works out to today the 28th of Oct. at about 7PM
Let's keep our fingers crossed!!! I keep checking Mighty's site and here and my heart skips a few beats while the pages load!!

if you've gotten it post a dump so it can be rooted
Hey whats the commands to dump the phone?
I unrooted my MT3G so its on 1.6 atm.
And oddly I don't believe it. Until T-Mobile gives the announcement, itis all speculation.
@Ace just get a logcat app and IF you get it, run it and post it, we will get the link for it.

Fail. This article was dated from last year.
I know noone knows me from anything.. but Im not out for attention on this.
When I went in to change my plan last week and check my upgrade credit it was in mid morning and I was the only customer so I was able to sit down with the re for a while talking about phones and he showed me the fender Mytouch demoo.. blah blah.. Anyway.. When we were talking about if I should wait for the fender mytouch or get a CLiq, he mentioned to me that the new updates would be officially out between feb 7th-21st. I asked him what build he said depending on the phone 2.01 and 2.1. He knew I had a G1 and he said that I may be getting 2.1. This guy has been working in the same store for about 4 years so I know hes not some rambling new guys saying whatever I want to hear.
Just my 2.324543 cents

Adobe Flash 10.1 beta SignUps!!
We've waited so long and finally some progress on this. Adobe opened sign ups for Flash 10.1 and Air 2.0.
Flash 10.1 and Air 2.0
You can now sign up to be notified when the first public betas of both Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2.0 are available. We just started the private betas and we are really looking forward to getting these technologies into your hands as soon as possible. There are going to be so many interesting things that you will be able to do on Android and there are also going to be many new skills that you will need to learn, especially if you are new to mobile design. One thing that will help you tremendously is to learn more about optimizing content for mobile devices. There are separate sign-up pages for Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2.0 so go on over and get registered. Unfortunately I can’t give any information about the specific dates for the betas.

If you go to Adobes flash page via your android browser then click the link at the top which says 'Get flash now' you can see it. Though it could simply be outdated.
Glad I signed up for an Adobe account like 2-3 years ago.

Based upon what ?? And, please don't say that your brother's sisters accountant's mother's dog's dog-walker works @ BB or VZW, etc.,
Based on the fact that it just is. No need getting into specifics. Just know you heard it here first!
Either way im not getting it now. From February 14 not to March 24th lol Its over for me.
Again Im so sure its the 24th. I have no slip, no blurry photos, no proof to show you. I JUST KNOW. If im wrong i will never enter the forums again, thats how sure I am!!
A verizon rep for Adobe told me that as well, but we all know how that goes.
I wish they would stop making seperate threads for all these this is the day posts. Just post in one of the other already made threads and Im sure we are all going to take your word on it...Thanks

Actually we've heard the 24th from other "sources" as well. Without any hard proof, or an official VZ announcement, right or wrong, you're post is just wasted space (as is mine admittedly)
~I'm outta this thread~
oh someone else said the 24th? Please show me the link? NOONE else said the 24th before me...... but nice try.
my knowledge of the date is definative!!

the 24th has been kicked around for atleast a week ,,,even heard itr from the phone tech at bb,,, but i dont need to prove it to u , so im not hunting down EVERY thread that has RUMORS about when the phone is coming out
yawn....
wake me when it is over
The phone has been rumored to release every Thursday since February. My friend the CTO of VZW has told me that it will be released on the 31st.

tazz, totally agreed, that date has been kicked around for likely longer than a week and ive seen it on droid life a million times, and several on phandroid, but this is nothing new, at this point i dont think any one single person can come out and say that they called it and got the date right. by now who gives a ****, its still a rock solid phone but i have heard so much about it that i feel like i already own the damn thing, there isnt a single spec i couldnt tell you. i will say this, i stopped in at my local best buy in knoxville,tn ant talked to the mobile dept. manager and he bet me his life that that the inspire 4g(really like 2.6g) had the same processor as the bolt, and he was right about that, but he told me the clock speed was 800mhz, i showed him at least 10 different spec sheets that proved him wrong, morons, all of them. the sad thing is he was very knowledgeable in actual android and even knew how to throw together some apps ansd code a little. on a different note, i played with the atrix while i was there and it had a sexy screen and for the first time in the existence of motoblur it actually ran buttery smooth although it still blows asshair compaired to sense or stock gizoogle android.
And how definitive it is your spelling of definitive

While I was stalking TazzPatriot when he was getting a mani/pedi, I heard the nail girl on a call with her BFF whose sister is dating a verizon vp and she said that it is for sure the 24th and that oh my god I like totally can't wait.
Hopefully you guys arent referring to me as a troll as i for sure didnt mean any of my comments to be troll like and plan on this being my next phone, so all im trying to do is make a few freinds over here early on so i can get in good with the community like it was over on my fascinate forums. well more like fascinate IRC is where i spent all of my time
