Skyfire browser to support VGA resolution soon

I recently tried to run the beta mobile browser from Skyfire but quickly discovered it would not run on VGA devices like my HTC Advantage. I recently heard from the folks at Skyfire who have promised that the server-based browser will soon support VGA resolution:

Hopefully, we can squeeze that into our next releasewhich should be out in a few weeks.

Not a firm commitment but good to hear that they have VGA on their roadmap, something that wasn’t clear on their support web site. Skyfire looks to be an awesome mobile browser and I can’t wait to try it. Has anyone out there given it a go and what do you think about Skyfire?
