Update:
Skyfire has been removed from the App Store and here is the reason posted by Skyfire on its 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.
We are very grateful for the demand. Within 5 hours, Skyfire for iPhone became the top grossing app, the third highest paid app overall and the top application in the Utilities category. Wow!
Please bear with us as we bring our capacity in line with the incredible demand – stay tuned.
Thanks, Robert.
seriously not worth the trouble. If you really want to watch all kinds of flash videos on the ipad , get Snowblaze HD http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snowblaze-hd/id410311063?mt=8
You can watch all flash movies, launch msn + facebook etc all at the same time and on the same iPad screen. Without having to wait.
