Screenshot Tour – Skyfire Browser on S60 3rd Edition
October 21, 2008
Skyfire browser is still in it’s very early beta for S60 3rd Edition smartphones. At the moment, it is available for closed beta testing ONLY for US residents. In this write-up, I just want to share my own experience using this new browser. I will use my own words to explain my thoughts about it and you can agree or disagree with me. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Skyfire beta 0.8 goes public… but still for US only…
September 25, 2008
Another beta is released. This time, it’s Skyfire, ladies and gentlemen. The new web browser on the block which brings new experience to web browsing on the go. The official Skyfire blog just announced the new version and open beta for US for Windows Mobile and Symbian S60.
They started private beta a few months ago to an amazing response. Existing users who want to upgrade can log into their account on our site any time to obtain the new version immediately:

How to: Symbian Sign Applications using Open Signed (need publisher ID)
March 4, 2008
As of now, you need a Published ID to do this.
The people at Symbian Signed has worked hard to provide us, the users, an easy way of signing our applications without using additional applications or paying Publisher ID’s. The whole process is now handled directly from the Symbian Signed webpage and all you need is a working e-mail adress. The service is still in beta and is somewhat limited which is also why I myself have not had a chance to try it out yet so consider this post a beta aswell for now (but I will of course, and I’ll update this post when I have).
Many cudos to all the people and Symbian Signed who made this a reality!
The main features of this signing option are:
- the process is online
- no Publisher ID is required
- no Symbian Signed account is required
- no tool downloads are required, so it is platform independent
- all user and most system capabilities may be requested (excludes the Restricted System Capabilities CommDD, DiskAdmin, NetworkControl, MultimediaDD and Device Manufacturer capabilities)
- applications are restricted to one device, specified by IMEI
- there is no cost to developers.
So you want to sign an unsigned freeware or shareware application/game? No problem, it should be easy, keep reading after the break and I’ll guide you all the way.
