To those using Skyfire you have probably seen the following

http://www.skyfire.com/newsletter/feb_2010/index.html

I see they finally added something I've been waiting for where it says:
Full high resolution support: Skyfire now provides native support for the
high-resolution VGA and wVGA screens found on many newer phones.

And the VGA support works great. The fine print on my Touch Diamond now
looks like fine print on a VGA screen instead of fine print on a QVGA
screen.

But there is one odd thing. I just upgraded my Skyfire browser and then
went to youtube.com and I see a message on the top that says:
"Your browser will be unsupported soon.
Please upgrade to a moder browser."

Then if you click on a video at youtube.com it says:
"On March 13, we are dropping support for your browser. You'll still be able
to watch videos after that date, but new features may not work properly."

Sure am glad I won't have to upgrade my Skyfire browser for youtube but I
hope the Skyfire team gets their Skyfire Server to be recognized as one of
the supported browsers.

BTW Youtube videos look great with the VGA support.

I tried it on an Axim X51v. Zooms in good. I couldn't figure out how
to get it zoomed OUT far enough to read Craigslist without horizontal
scrolling...pita.

That's because they're still using an "old" Firefox browser in the server
(whose image is shown on the client side); hence the warning. Hope they
indeed update it.

BTW, I've thoroughly tested the latest version of SkyFire. It works just
great - streaming with sound works absolutely fine too here (Finland).
