iPhone Flash Browser Skyfire Pulled From App Store
Skyfire is a browser app available on the iPhone for $2.99 that can play some Flash-based video. It will detect flash video and convert it to iPhone’s H.264 format before playing it. Therefore you will find the browser very slow in showing the video.
Now you will not able to find the app due heavy download and Skyfire removed it from the App Store.
From Skyfire blog:
Skyfire for iPhone has been received with unbelievable enthusiasm. Despite our best attempts and predictions, the demand far exceeds our initial projections.The user experience was performing well for the first few hours, but as the surge continued, the peak load on our servers and bandwidth caused the video experience to degrade.
Thus we are effectively ‘sold out’ and will temporarily not accept new purchases from the App Store. We are working really hard to increase capacity and will be accepting new purchases from the App Store as soon as we can support it.
