I really do like the skyfire browser idea, and the way it works looks to be very nice indeed- if I were to say anything I think mainly that Microsoft should never have left this gap in the market so long, Microsoft ships a product and they still have this problem of having others make SOLUTIONS to their most simple problems. It's not all about features, SOLUTIONS shouldn't have to exist in the first place for this sort of thing.
One other thing, whilst I dislike the iPhone in general I will say that the mobile versions of pages look better, easier to navigate and just better overall- I would prefer that version of Facebook any day of the week, keep the main functionality in there but don't use an interface designed for >800*600 screens for a product with a screen small than my MP3 player.
The simplest rule of interface design- one size NEVER fits all
- If a company has the resources they should have versions optimised for the purposes it will likely be used for
- In this case a UMPC is the very smallest screen I can browse the 21st century DESKTOP web on
What skyfire has done which is commendable is the introduction of technologies onto the mobile platform- silverlight, flash etc SHOULD work on mobile, and it's great to see it finally happen, I just wish MS had done it already.
Memo to Steve Ballmer- buy these guys! Please?
