Skyfire Alpha for Android Now "the" new Fastest Browser on the Platform?

So skyfire released a Alpha version of there web viewer for the Android Platform. From early tests it seems it is incredibly faster than Opera Mini 5 on Android.

I don't take this news quite well since people like sped and full web rendering nervous

Technically Opera Mini also are not a web browser...

Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't skyfire an Opera Mini clone? AFAIK Skyfire uses a similar method as Opera Mini to fetch per-rendered web pages via server, but using Gecko rendering engine instead & able to access stream media like flash, silverlight, & quicktime directly. I think the only thing Skyfire better than Opera Mini is it can access stream media directly.

Also, Team Skyfire just decided to copy yet another great idea from Opera Software... Port Skyfire to iPhone! cat

Skyfire 2.0 beta released for android...copies "speed dial" for opera...I think Opera needs a way to render full flash content in a way like Skyfire..some revolutionary way like Opera always does..
