We
were excited to launch the photo/video widget and add Silverlight
support to Skyfire without a client upgrade. These additions gave our
users the ability to watch any of the 2200+ hours of Olympic coverage
provided by NBC.
Thanks for clicking on the Olympics widget and for making NBCOlympics.com a top site on Skyfire. |

| Better Video |
| We
heard the comments in the forums saying video is choppy, so we tweaked the
minimum framerate from our initial launch in January. If you have 3G
data connections or wifi, you should see significant improvement in
video. Of course, smooth video playback on low bandwidth connections is
still a challenge and we will continue to improve this with each
release. |
