Hansd-on with Skyfire 1.5

Skyfire 1.5 has just been released. After the break, we take a look at the proxy-based browser (meaning the rendering work is done on Skyfire's end, saving your phone the trouble), which allows full Flash functionality, among other goodies. Join us!

Why are you talking through the music? When I visit a link that says: "Video hands-on with Skyfire 1.5" I'd like to hear music. Not someone talking.

? I don't get how you would expect music? I would expect a hands on review and would be disappointed if it was just music

Right! So why this music? (I was trying to be sarcastic)

I agree I also would expect a hands on review. Phil, I installed this version and I love it. The only problem is I can't get it to change form portrait to landscape unless I use the slide out keyboard. Help!

Okay so while we're on the subject...where is the music from??

FYI on the screen rotate this is from Skyfire directly:

•Auto rotate hack for HTC phones (*Restart of the phone after Skyfire is installed in necessary for this rotation to work. Works only on HTC phones with TouchFlo3D or HTC Sense enabled.)

Phil I told ya this was a great update.

@anon 20:28 ... Hmmmmm. I didn't open the keyboard, so I'm not sure about that.

@densbucs As I'm sure you're aware *wink*, that's the closing music from the podcast.

This only supports VGA...Shouldn't they actually be making to support WVGA considering thats the new standard for windows mobile 6.5 and the rumors standard resolution for winmo-7?

That is a WVGA screen on the video...

WO! Your screen is nice! And your clock. I have a Tilt 2 with WM 6.5. Looks the same as that phone. How come your menu and home screen look so sleek ? How do I get that? Thanks for the Skyfire video!
