These elements are most likely being shut down due to the coming of Pocket Internet Explorer 6.1

At the very least Microsoft labs can say they pioneered the technology and idea that opera, and skyfire use now.

Personally I have found Opera Mini to be best for general browsing, PIE for downloading files, and Skyfire for more intensive websites when I just have to get there and Opera will not let me.

I guess we’ll never know. Unless someone has stats of Opera Mini (not mobile) usage.

Then there’s the usual privacy issue of these proxy services.

This is yet another example of MS dropping the ball. Apple will eat them alive.

Wow I waited a long time to at least try this browser and now it’s defunct. At least I’ve got safari mobile on my touch. In fact, I am posting this right now from it.

It’s so very nice.

What a lucky break for you! I guess this means that the proxy service will never be retired – since there will never be a September 31, 2008. Nor will there be a September 31, 2009 for that matter.

You can rest easy, in typical Microsoft fashion, you must have received the beta-release for the demise of Deepfish. The real release should be coming any day now – just not September 31!
