that statement is just wrong, the iphone has no flash support and skyfire does. that is a huge shortcoming to apple’s internet functionality

Just go out and get an iphone. Nothing on the market today compares in terms of internet functionality.

not to feed the trolls, but for real, Skyfire has not hyped their browser at all. Well for BlackBerry. they hype the product as a WinMo and Symbian browser because that stuff is in public. They just announced that they were doing an alpha for BlackBerry and solicited testers.

The only reason anyone has seen ANYTHING about the browser is people are breaking NDAs and sharing it with CB/BGR.

If everybody stopped hyping everything to unbearable heights and promising features that they then can’t deliver, they wouldn’t have these issues. It’s the same with all the stuff from RIM: How long have BES admins been waiting for proper OTA update capabilities now and where are they?

If you advertise great, desirable features and then spend ages developing them while continually teasing people, you shouldn’t be astonished that your product will leak and will be grabbed thousandfold when it does!

If you want a quiet, closed beta, develop things in your corner and don’t tell anyone. Ask people to join the beta program without touting all of the great features the finished product might eventually have. You’ll have a much easier time keeping things under control that way. (see SocialScope for example, which is a great product, had a very long closed beta and no ‘giant leak landgrab’ incident like this).

Well, that’s what you get for teasing people and never releasing anything! You just make people want your product and of course they will grab it if they get their hands on it.

If you want to hold a beta and not have people freak out if it leaks, do it like the SocialScope and Bolt guys: Offer it to everybody, give it out at a good pace, tie it to accounts and unique download links and that’s it.

Well, it is because sme people are incapable of programing a VCR, couldn’t reload their operating system on their blackberry or computer without a “for dummies” book. Useless people give useless help. Read: storm forums, beta os discussions etc. 98% of these people shouldn’t be playing with beta or alpha software, heck some of them should go back to pen and paper. No help is far better than useless rants and complaints.

In other works, private betas are used to get CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, suggestions and bugs. Not to pamper babies listen to bitchin and whining

Really, check forums for leaked ANYTHING and all you hear is people crying about how it isn’t what it was meant to be.

Not a good idea to post something like that in the open there Brian. The Alpha was pulled because Skyfire dedicated a small amount of resources to this Alpha internally, and they were overrun when people started to download and use the leaked copy (of an OLD beta no less). I do hope they use PIN/Login as a security measure so the application wont be delayed to do people being impatient and wanting things they cannot have yet.
