Skyfire is among the most popular third-party browser apps in the App Store, bringing quite a few solid browsing features that mobile Safari doesn't have to the iPhone and the iPad. And here's yet another one: The latest update to Skyfire adds account switching capabilities, so multiple users on one device can have their bookmarks, history, account logins, and all other browser settings set for them when they first log in to the app. While we have seen information that many households run more than one iOS device, there are certainly plenty of houses out there where the family shares one iPad, and in those situations (as the company's trailer shows), account switching can be very helpful. Skyfire's feature is called HotSwap, and allows for up to four different accounts to be used on one device at one time. The app's probably most famous for allowing users to watch Flash-based videos Read More

Posted 07/19/2011 at 12:04pm | by J Keirn-Swanson Surprisingly, this is still a big honkin' deal for some people. iOS devices don't do Flash, they haven't ever, and the chances of them doing it in the future is next to nil. Natively, that is. Developers have been trying to crack this nut for some time and mostly, they've succeeded. Skyfire from Skyfire Labs, Inc. was probably the first big splash any browser had with trying to square the Flash circle on the iPhone. They offer two flavors of their popular Flash-enabled browser, so if you're running two devices it could set you back eight dollars total. Not that you couldn't run the iPhone version on your iPad and save a few bucks. If you just want to watch video, save a couple bucks with the iPhone version Skyfire has opted to ditch the less is more ethos of most mobile browsers Read More

In addition from the mentioned features above, Skyfire 3.1 also added a new 'related sites' feature, bringing a nice discovery element to the app – it will allow you to find new sites you might like. Additionally, it also enhances its customer service by adding a new and improved customer support process for when you need to submit feedback or bug reports to Skyfire's team. Here are some of the features and improvements added to Skyfire app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch: • Localized Versions of Skyfire: Skyfire UI is now translated and accessible in seven new languages: Italian, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean & Spanish • Video Failure Upgrade: We are continually striving to add more supported video sites & players each day – Our new video support flow makes it easy for users to connect directly with our engineers and support team for optimum customer service and to Read More

Skyfire, the popular Flash-video-playing Web browser for iOS and Android, has released a new version for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users.

There's also an improved support process for when you need to submit feedback or bug reports to Skyfire's team of developers. User agent switching has been enhanced as well, allowing you to choose among desktop, iPad, and iPhone views of the websites you browse.

Skyfire 3.0 for iPhone is in the AppStore, bringing improved Facebook experience for those who need one. The popular “I can do Flash” mobile web browser does its social magic by integrating Facebook Connect to deliver all of the social media features that are already available on Skyfire for Android.

Greg was born just outside of San Jose, and now lives in the East Bay of California. → Learn More Back in November of last year, SkyFire (the company behind the Flash-video-friendly smartphone browser of the same name) launched version 3.0 of their app to the Android Market. The big new features? It was all social stuff, like instant Facebook wall access, a one-click Facebook “Like” button that constantly lived on the nav bar, a “Popular” feature that scans social sites for popular content from the current domain, and the “Fireplace”, which lists JUST the Rich media from your social streams. I harshed on it a bit, with my main nag being that SkyFire was forgetting to “Keep It Simple, Stupid.” Just about everyone in the comments seemed to agree with Read More

By Rene Ritchie, Wednesday, Feb 2, 2011 | Curious how to watch our podcasts, iPhone Live and iPad Live on your iPhone and iPad? If you come here to TiPb.com on your iOS device you’ll likely realize we’re trapped in little, unsupported Flash boxes. However, there is a way to see and hear at least some of the show while mobile. We’ll tell you how after the break! We use Ustream to stream our iPhone Live! and iPad Live! podcasts and they use Flash on the browser end, which is not supported by Apple and iOS. However Ustream has made an app that will let you watch the hosts video and everyone’s audio. Here’s how it works: Unfortunately you can’t watch everyone at once and we’re using a different chat program at the moment, so you can’t watch and chat but we’re working on solving both those problems. In the meantime Read More

After the initial iPhone, iPad and iPod touch version earned $1 million in its first weekend on the App Store back in November, the third-party iPad-specific web browser Skyfire for iPad (US$4.99) has been updated to Version 2.1.1 and is available for downloading now. Fixes in the update include auto-completing URLs, stronger privacy controls and several performance improvements. Because Apple's iOS devices do not support Flash, the Skyfire browser provides a workaround that transcodes Flash video into HTML5 and thus enables iDevice owners to access most Flash-based websites and videos. While Skyfire for iPad version 2.1.1 requires, well, an iPad running iOS 3.2 or later, iPhone and iPod touch users can download their own version for $2.99 from the App Store as well. Read More

Nov 11th 2010 at 6:00PM I bought the Skyfire app within the first few days it came out, and to be honest, I bought it out of sheer curiosity, nothing else. I used it once to view an embedded vimeo movie on my site. Since that one use, the "gee-whiz" factor has worn off, and I haven't used it since. Also, the streaming video quality was much worse than HTML 5 on my phone. So all the video on the web being converted to HTML 5 would be a far better scenario for iOS users than to have to use Skyfire. In the article, it says "Using adaptive streaming technology, users can view full Flash pages on their phones." That's complete b.s. The author obviously has never used the app. All it does is allow you to watch flash videos. (And the interface is a little awkward, at that.) It definitely Read More

The Skyfire Web Browser app for the iPhone – which converts Flash video to HTML 5 for viewing on the iPhone – is back in the App Store today. It originally hit the store two days ago, but was quickly pulled by its publishers because their servers couldn’t cope with the load. Today it is back (at least in the US App Store), and I was able to install it just a short while ago – though I have seen reports that it is being released ‘in batches’ so its availability may be intermittent for a while. I’ve only played with Skyfire for just a very few minutes, but my very early impression so far is a definite ‘meh’. The app definitely does what it says on the box – lets you run (converted) Flash video on the iPhone – so full credit for that. My ‘meh’ reaction is because I Read More

November 6, 2010 by Brian     Earlier this week the much anticipated SkyFire Flash videos-enabled mobile browser for iPhone was launched, then pulled from the AppStore. The reason for that was that SkyFire’s technology does not actually play Flash videos in your browser, but rather first converts them into an iPhone compatible format. Their servers simply got overloaded and they’ve decided to take the app offline until they’ve upgraded their network infrastructure. Now SkyFire appears to be back and is currently available to download from the AppStore, still at the same introductory price of $2.99.   Related posts: Article by Brian My name's Brian, Brian Jones.

After making a short apparition, SkyFire, the app that allows you to convert Flash content on your iPhone, was quickly pulled from the App Store by the company itself as their servers couldn’t handle the load. It seems things are getting better now as SkyFire is now back in the App Store. As TUAW‘s Steven Sande notes, you may not want to rush to the App Store to get SkyFire as the app is being released in “batches”… You can try to download SkyFire here at the same pricetag of $2.99.

It’s been a long battle for Adobe in trying to get Flash on iOS. Steve Jobs has had some not-so-kind words regarding Flash in the past. Some of you may remember him calling Adobe “lazy” and say that they “have all this potential to do interesting things, but they just refuse to do it.” He then called Flash “buggy,” and said that “Whenever a Mac crashes, more often than not it’s because of Flash.” He then expressed his interest in HTML5 and said that the “world is moving to the format. Those words left a lot of people unhappy. To this day, one of the most common arguments you hear against the iPad (or any iOS device for that matter) is that “it doesn’t even do Flash.” That goes for the iPhone 4, the iPod Touch and the iPad. In this case it seems like both parties are right and wrong. While it Read More

We knew this day was coming but the Skyfire browser is now available for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. That means you’ll be able to get Flash content on your iOS device. If you don’t know, Skyfire is a mobile browser which aims to deliver content to the handset with minimal bandwidth. Like Opera, it uses proxy servers to deliver web content to the phone – that’s all back end stuff though, as it looks just like a standard browser to the user. The beauty of Skyfire on Android is that it is an elegant way to sidestep the Apple war against Flash because you can use it to access this content on the go. When you browse to a site with Flash content, you’ll get a pop-up option to view the video. We’ve used the Skyfire iPhone app and it works pretty darn well for most content. There are Read More

Mit ‘Skyfire’ (2.39 €; App Store-Link) erreicht ein Webbrowser den App Store, der Flash-Inhalte in Videoform umwandelt, und iOS-fähig zurück in die iPhone-App schickt. Spiele, Webseiten oder sonstige Web-Anwendungen schließen diesen externen Konvertierungsservice (natürlich) komplett aus. Ähnlich ergeht es beispielsweise dem Videodienstleister Hulu oder “anderen Premium-Seiten”. ‘Skyfire’ ließ sich nach der Veröffentlichung seines gestrigen iPhone-Promo-Videos bereits als Heilsbringer der veralteten Adobe-Technologie für die Apple-Plattform glorifizieren. Diverse Medien Informationsportale titelten “Flash auf dem iPhone”, was sich im ersten Absatz zum Artikel (meistens) als selbst aufgetragene Lüge Ungenauigkeit Irreführung enttarnte. Business Insider zückte obendrein den medialen ‘Porn’-Schlagstock indem sie Apple unterstellten, die Adobe-Technik aufgrund der weiten Verbreitung von erotischem Bildmaterial im Netz nicht auf ihren mobilen Endgeräten zu tolerieren. Den ‘Analysten’ muss entgangen sein, dass die Videoportale für ‘explizite Darstellungen’ gleich in erster Reihe mit iPhone- und iPad-tauglichen Formaten bereitstanden. Egal. Flash-Video(!)-Inhalte, und über nichts anderes reden wir hier, existieren noch in (beinahe) Read More

Apple's deigned to let Skyfire, an iOS browser that transcodes Flash videos into iPhone-friendly HTML5, into the App Store, and it's available there now. In my testing it worked pretty darn well. Yup, porntubes on the iPhone. Updated 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 Read More

UPDATE: Skyfire has been pulled from the App Store by Skyfire, not Apple, due to high demand. Skyfire’s current server capacity can’t handle the load, but the company is planning to retool and reintroduce the app. You can now get the much-hyped Skyfire browser for your iPhone, which brings the ability to watch Flash content. You won’t get that for free, though, as the price is $2.99 at launch, which is described as an “early adopter price.” So is it worth it? Skyfire works by sending Flash content to its servers, transcoding it using a proxy and sending it back to your device as HTML5. However, it has its limitations. If you were planning on watching Hulu on your device through its website, for instance, you’re out of luck, since it isn’t supported. It also won’t work with Flash games. It does, however, play Flash video without issue on many sites, and Read More

It’s here folks. SkyFire is now available for download in the App Store. It was supposed to be released on Thursday but I guess Apple couldn’t wait to provide us with a Flash content converter. In case you just woke up, SkyFire is a new application that will take Flash content and convert it into HTML5 so you can view it on your iPhone. As we said before, SkyFire won’t be able to convert all Flash content. Hulu videos for example won’t be able to be converted. You can download SkyFire in the App Store for $2.99. If you do, please make sure to leave a comment and tell us all about it. Read More

November 3, 2010 by Brian     The much anticipated SkyFire browser for iPhone (and other iOS devices) is now available in the AppStore. Its main selling feature is the fact that it can play Flash videos – well, sort of… They’re being reconverted on-the-fly into a compatible format, actually. Over 100,000 websites are currently supported, with scores of high profile Flash video websites that were not previously available to you. And below you can see a (fairly aged) video preview of SkyFire.   Related posts: Article by Brian My name's Brian, Brian Jones. I'm a professional in my thirties and I'm really into technology.

Haven’t been paying attention, and are now wondering what all the hubbubs about? Here’s the trick: SkyFire can play Flash video. Sort of.
