Skyfire Mobile Browser now in open Beta for UK users

The Skyfire mobile browser is now available as an open beta for Windows Mobile Standard and Professional for UK based users.

Up until now, it has only been available to US and Canadian users.

Get it here.

I’ve installed it on my HTC Touch, and all seems well so far, although I’ve only had a brief chance to play with it.

Show – Kevin Tomlinson – Seven Ages

Kevin Tomlinson is currently touring with his one man show Seven Ages.  I had the pleasure of lighting his performance on Friday evening at The Phoenix.

I can thoroughly recommend the show as being one of the funniest I have seen in a long, long time.  It got 5 star reviews when he performed at the Edinburgh Festival, and now I know why!

The show is about the seven stages of life that Shakespeare says we go through, in ‘As You Like It’. True stories are taken from Kevin’s – and the audience’s – life and then weaved into scenes of comic or dramatic nature, for the entertainment of the audience. Masks, storytelling, improvisation – and sometimes puppetry – are all used in the process.

Check out the tour dates for your nearest venue.

Live Mesh for Mobile now available

The Live Mesh team have recently announced the Mobile client is now available.

I’ve been experimenting with the Vista client for some weeks now, so the availability of the mobile client for UK users is great.

 

One of the limitations of Windows Mobile has always been an inability to sync to the storage card using ActiveSync / WMDC.  Mesh provides a great solution to this.

The only issue I’ve found so far is that it installs on the phone, rather than allowing me to select the storage card.  I had to move a few things around to get enough space on the phone.
