We had reported yesterday that Skyfire Web Browser app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch had finally been approved by Apple and will be available on the App Store on Thursday.
But it has arrived a day early, as it is already available on the App Store.
One of the most interesting aspects about the Skyfire iOS app is its ability to run Adobe Flash videos specially when you consider Apple's stand against the multimedia platform.
Here is the official description of the browser app:
Skyfire is the ONLY WAY to enjoy millions of FLASH VIDEOS from the web on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Browse your favorite web sites and unlock the content that matters to you: funny clips, sports and news updates, the video link your friend sent you. Plus share easily with your network via Facebook and Twitter, and enjoy one click access to your Facebook Wall while you browse.
 >>>> Special Early Adopter Price!! <<<<<

Skyfire’s award-winning technology already enables Flash videos for millions of mobile users and is finally available on the iPhone. Our cloud computing platform translates videos from Flash into an iPhone-friendly format. It’s a bit of engineering magic. Over 100,000 web sites supported, with more added every day.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT SKYFIRE:
“Easily the best browser available ...” Engadget
