SKYFIRE BROWSER LETS iPHONE USERS WATCH FLASH VIDEO

Skyfire, an iOS browser, transcodes flash video into HTML5 on the fly. Apple has approved the browser for the Apple App Store and it can be downloaded now through iTunes.

Other iterations of Skyfire have been known to be clunky, but their new $3 app works as advertised: when you come across a site with a Flash video element it'll send that video out to its servers, transcode it into iPhone-friendly HTML5, and pipe it back to your iPhone. It takes 10 seconds or so to get itself situated, but once it does, the videos look pretty good. Skyfire's magic doesn't work with Flash games or Flash apps, or some premium sites like Hulu, but for the most part you'll be able to get at all the Flash video you come across while browsing, or the Flash videos you discover with the built-in Skybar feature.
