Hope you all follow the General forum in here ;-) If you don’t, you may not have read my latest major roundup you will definitely be interested in: the Windows Mobile Web Browsing Bible, fully updated to the latest Web browsers (DeepFish, Opera Mobile 8.65, NetFront 3.4, WM6 Internet Explorer etc.) . Make sure you don’t miss it!
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1202096 for the Bible.
Thanks, I need to get out more...of the Hermes sub-forum that is.
I searched the Hermes forum and subforums for the words Zumobi & Viigo and didn't find any posts about these apps, so I figured I would mention them.
There are 2 free apps available on Microsofts mobile download page.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/domore/mobile/Applications.mspx
I downloaded both apps and will install them soon. I have no idea what Zumobi does, but will find out soon.
Quick scan of the web pages for the apps:

Kind of a PointCast (for those who remember it!) for mobile phones.

Skyfire v0.85 The best internet browser
Description:
Skyfire brings the PC internet experience to your mobile. Watch videos on YouTube or Hulu, connect with your friends on Myspace or Facebook, shop on Amazon, or listen to music. If you can experience it on your computer, you now can do it with Skyfire on the go. Skyfire is fast, easy to use and available for free for many smart phone models.
What is Skyfire?
Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile web browser that allows you to experience the internet on your phone exactly like on your PC. Now, you can use the full web from your mobile phone with unprecedented speed and simplicity – without the typical restrictions and limitations that current ‘mobile web’ efforts offer. It’s “The Web”, not some mobile web.
A brand new browsing experience.
Mobile browsing exactly like your PC.
With Skyfire on your phone you can for the first time ever shop, watch web video, listen to web music and stay connected on your social network -- just as you would on your PC. We're talking about full-featured PC versions of your favorite websites. Skyfire gives you speedy page loads, full audio, images and video. From Myspace, Facebook, YouTube to Hulu - it's the full web experienced on your phone.
The real web, served-up right.
Unlike other mobile browsers, Skyfire supports the desktop version of Adobe Flash applications so sites, including those that serve-up video and music, are rendered exactly as you would expect - just like your PC. You will instantly recognize the content, be familiar with the page layout -- which is not true for most mobile browsing experiences. We support all that's good about today's web - not just Flash, but also Silverlight, Ajax, QuickTime and more. And even better: Skyfire evolves with the newest capabilities without you having to do anything.
Go anywhere, see anything.
Not only do we deliver video and audio, we also deliver everything else you routinely do on the web. Get maps, check sport scores, view weather forecasts, read the news, check flights, and stay active on your favorite social networks. From the Top 10 of websites all the way down to the obscurest of pages - you'll do it all from your mobile phone just like you do on your PC.
Blazing fast.
Skyfire is faster than any mobile web browser you've ever used. You'll load web pages as fast as your PC and eliminate the long delays and error messages you get with other mobile browsers. Don't take our word for it, check out this bake-off by Laptop Magazine and see how we handily outclassed the iPhone 3G.
Easy to use.
It's easy to experience the PC web on your phone with Skyfire's clickable content and intuitive navigation. We know it's a small screen and that's why we made navigating intuitive with full screen, thumbnails and adaptable zooming modes. You simply and quickly get to exactly where you want to be on a page - navigating at speeds that make the experience enjoyable.
Quick content and simple search.
All the places you routinely visit are a click away. We have handy links to popular websites on the start page. Your bookmarks and your browsing history is just a click away. Better yet, you can even bookmark your specific view (zoom level, position) of content on a web page to get exactly to the right place in one click.
We made search simple. Use our nifty SuperBar to perform a search or enter a URL from a single field. We even suggest the most commonly used search keywords as you type. Plus the search results are from Google and Yahoo and are presented in easy to read tabs for each category: web, images, and videos, and maps. Simple and it's all a click away.
Plenty of handy features.
We're always adding new features as we roll out our beta releases. Recently, we made it easy to share and easy to find mobile sites.
Discover something on the web that you want to share? Now you can send it to your friends from Skyfire via a text message. We even shorten the URL to easily fit into a single SMS text message with room to spare for your own words.
Don't like the big web page on your small screen? Want to go to the mobile site instead? If we find a mobile version of the same site, Skyfire lets you know - then you decide if you want the mobile or full website. Simply look for a 'Mobile Version' link at the top left of a page. Skyfire even renders iPhone specific web sites nicely.
On the phone you own - and free!
You can load Skyfire on your existing Windows Mobile (version 5 or 6) or newer Symbian Series 60 phones in a few steps. In a matter of minutes, you can install it either over the air or via your PC. It's free - what more can we say. No need to buy an expensive new phone and get locked into a new contract just because you want a better mobile internet experience.

Many have been aware of it since the development started. I'm not saying you can't post it, just do these types of post in the General forum.
Also, I suggest removing your download link.

It's not a matter of how someone feels, just a general concept of this section of the forum. As far as development goes, it won't be much of a development topic since nobody here is developing it.
you are right champ but here is so many software that should not been here and a first "free" skyfire beta is really interesting.
I installed the cab but skyfire finds no connection ? It starts searching and runnes hsdpa on my polaris but i only see "connecting..." but nothing happens. Is this still limited for US citizens ? or only for wwe ROMs ?

Shouldn't be limited to the US, Skyfire's page gives the option for users outside the US and doesn't require the login anymore.
EDIT: Looks like they only have US, Canada, & UK listed for avail countries. Not bad though, ESPN loaded in under 5 sec, video playback is decent, but I still hate the UI.
0.8.5 does not work for me, in France... go back to v0.8.0.
Phone : Trinity
i begin to hate this skyfire idiots. why does a application ony run in three countries !

It's likely to do with regions. I tried accessing www.hulu.com from it, knowing that it won't work on a desktop browser as I'm in the UK, and guess what? Doesn't work as it knows I'm in the UK.. As all pages are pre-rendered on the Skyfire servers, that means that I'm being served by a Skyfire server in the UK. If I were being served by a US server, Hulu would have worked.
:bah
no wvga support
Skyfire works great here in Canada!
Got to get used to the browser but, overall, it's decent.
Well, it's a good FREE alternative to PIE.... no tough to beat
Im from Mexico and Skyfire works very well on wifi
I have a Blueangel
Skyfire is good. I have tried the previous version which didn't support surfing via-proxy setting. Has this version fix that?
correct me if I'm wrong..but this has been out for at least a month hasn't it? I've been using it for at least a month
last version doesn't work!
ok it installs loads then dont work just ses locating and nothing happens this is over wifi and it works as im posting this via opera any ideas?

so should we move all of the Opera Mobile threads in this forum as well, since no one in here is developing it?

No, because some of the Opera builds have been redeveloped by users here, not to mention the work it takes to obtain the builds. Skyfire is a free app for anyone to download. Big difference, pay attention before you decide to argue with my point.
Thanks daniel2020,
Now I can use Skyfire in my country, as I can't download it in the official website!!!!
It is working here, but there are a few considerations: it is not real VGA, Opera is, opera is more zoom friendly.

Opera unveils turbo-charged browsing at Mobile World Congress 2009
Oslo, Norway and Barcelona, Spain – February 12, 2009
Just when you thought browsing couldn't get any faster, Opera unveils its latest innovation for better browsing, Opera Turbo. This all-new, turbo-charged way to surf will make its exclusive appearance at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona from February 16-19, 2009.
To be available for business customers on Opera Desktop, Opera Mobile and Opera Devices SDK, Opera Turbo compresses bandwidth consumption. By processing data being sent to a mobile phone or a PC by up to 80 percent, operators will be able to reduce network traffic and save on data transmissions. This helps to extend the longevity of their mobile network investments. For device manufacturers, Opera Turbo provides a faster browsing application that can leverage device capabilities and utilize hardware resources more effectively. By leveraging Opera Turbo, operators and OEMs can provide a faster browsing experience to their end-users, independent of network constraints or hardware limitations.
Due to Opera Turbo's advanced compression technology, even devices with limited hardware capabilities show improved page download rates and better overall performance. By leveraging its experience with server-side optimization solutions such as Opera Mini, Opera Software is extending optimization to encompass other Opera browser products. Opera Turbo is able to reduce the size of the transferred page without transcoding the page. Opera Turbo offers full support for dynamic Web technologies such as Ajax and Flash - these are not compressed by Opera Turbo.
Opera Turbo supports Opera's belief in "One Web", providing equal access to the Internet regardless of the device or network quality. Opera has focused on a way to improve performance and the overall speed of its browser under any condition, whether surfing from a limited mobile phone in a remote location or with an early model desktop computer on a dial-up modem. To Opera, One Web means being able to take the one true Web and make it available to people on their own terms. Opera believes that circumstances should not dictate how its browser performs, and Opera Turbo is a way to ensure the best browsing possible anytime, anywhere.
"We are living in a time and place where access to the Web should be a universal right to all. Technology has advanced us to the point that we can very nearly access the Internet anytime and anywhere from a growing number of devices," said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "As part of Opera's commitment to provide the best experience on any device, Opera has developed the Opera Turbo solution. The Mobile World Congress serves as a forum for us to educate others on the wonders of Web technology."
See it to believe it at Opera's Mobile World Congress exhibit (Hall 2, Stand 2B77). Mobile World Congress participants will also have the ability to experience Opera on a variety of devices: Opera Mobile on smartphones such as HTC HD, Samsung Omnia and Sony Ericsson Xperia, free downloads of Opera Mini, improved Web browsing on gaming consoles and the ARCHOS Generation 5 Media players will be just a few of the exciting features of Opera's 2009 exhibit.
Mobile World Congress will be held from 16th to 19th February in 2009 in Barcelona, Spain. Visit the Opera Booth in Hall 2, 2B77. For media inquiries, please contact [email protected]

Hello,
it's hard to find up to date web-browsers for old gingerbread devices like the 5treak. So you may look over to the good friends of f-droid. In the archive section you find fennec-fdroid - basically a mobile firefox without too much phoning home. They've made a version available for gingerbread: https://fdroid.org/archive/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid_440000.apk
It's still a firefox with lot's of the nagware you may already know from the desktop variant, so look into about:config before you use it! It's also slower than opera or naked browser, but some sites require modern html5/css klimbim and with fennec-fdroid you will be able to access them from your 5treak.
