Anyone else see Skyfire in the appstore or on iTunes this morning? My colleague just tried to read reviews and it wasn't there (for me either)
Interesting....
Come on man...read the thread. (they should update the news story as well)

So to everyone who got it. Would you say it was a waste? Seems like people who know what flash is say its super terrible. And people who just want to watch southpark say its good.
I was psyched about getting it. But id imagine if it was still in the App store it would have 1 star. So i guess ill wait til it drops to free.
Get yourself a burger. You will enjoy it more than this app. I is a waste of money. It doesn't work well and I believe this is a conceptional issue with this app. They want to transcode flash videos and send them as H.264 video to your device. This technology cannot scale well and it will fail (has already failed).
With all due respect, you are uninformed. As you stated, you are using a beta OS version, so Skyfire doesn't work for you. On what do you base your trashing the app?
As far as the concept being flawed, it works great on Android and on WM, and it has been very popular on those platforms.
Skyfire generally works fairly well, and at this point, it's the only option for someone on iOS to view Flash videos. So, for many, it will be worth the $3.

Do you think Skyfire has the capacity to transcode and serve video without going into red at lifetime revenue of just $2.99/user?Skyfire generally works fairly well, and at this point, it's the only option for someone on iOS to view Flash videos. So, for many, it will be worth the $3.
Don't be so hard on yourself! (Sorry... couldn't resist.)
Downloaded it .... Too damn slow, it sucks. steve was right.
I would go even further and say Flash could/should be implemented like the YouTube app. Instead of the usual "plugin" icon, it could offer "play" Flash icon in its place. Clicking will launch Adobe's official Flash app.I am not saying that flash on a mobile device is good. There is not a single good implementation of flash on any mobile device at the moment. Even on Android it is a hit or miss. Having said that and even if I don't really care about it, it would be nice if we had the option to turn flash on or off (the default setting should be off).

Is it? I'm in Aus and it isn't in our App Store yet :/Wirelessly posted (Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8B117 Safari/6531.22.7)
For anyone who is wondering, Skyfire reappeared in the App Store! It would be great to get a new update (x2) on the original post letting others know that it's back. Now that I've tried the app, I have to say that it is working very well for me!
