Skyfire 1.0 browser released, works well on the AT&T Nokia E71x!

Skyfire just released version 1.0 of their software today (see the PDF press release) and in talking with them yesterday I was told the AT&T Nokia E71x fix was not yet implemented. I then read in the comments of one of my earlier posts discussing Skyfire (thanks ScooterG!) that it was indeed running just fine on the E71x so I immediately went to m.skyfire.net from withing my browser and found the E71x was specifically identified. I downloaded Skyfire 1.0 on the E71x and received an unable to install error as I tried to upgrade from version 0.85. I then uninstalled the older version of Skyfire (DO THIS FIRST) and the 1.0 version installed just fine and I am happy to confirm that it indeed works like a champ with the soft key placements correct and everything. Bring on Hulu baby!

It is a large 1.2MB file, but I installed it to main memory to get optimal performance. I did have to play around a bit to get the right connection by switching between Operator (Proxyless) and Internet (MEdiaNet), but the Proxyless one eventually worked just fine.

There are some cool new features such as double press on the center action button of the navigational pad to toggle zoom levels. Hulu played well in an almost full screen window.
