SkyFire for iPhone has finally made its way to the UK. The app was launched some three weeks back in the US. The app's US launch was kind of bumpy as the app took a long time to get the green light for its entry to the app store. Once it was in the app store, the application was then pulled off without stating any reason. You can read about the not so smooth ride of the app here.
SkyFire basically converts Flash to HTML5 and thus lets you enjoy the flash content on your iPhone. HTML5 is Apple approved whereas Flash gets no such love from the Cupertino company. The app provides you multi tab mobile browsing experience and also offers Twitter and Facebook Quickview. Anyways, the app has gotten over its initial hiccups and is now available internationally. Thanks to currency conversion, the folks in the UK will end up paying slightly more than their US counterparts. But €2.39, the app is still a good buy. So go ahead and enjoy Flash content on your iPhone. It would be like a cyber middle finger to a certain Steve Jobs.

I will definitely be downloading it, but I’ve been wanting to go android for a while as a result of no flash and probably will when the nexus S is released. Don’t think we should have to pay to have the flash option.
I leave Steve Jobs but this is one thing that I don’t agree with him on.
