Skyfire pulls iPhone app from App Store due to overloaded servers


Just five hours into availability, high demand on Skyfire servers forced them to pull the Skyfire iOS app from the App Store

The app was a standalone Webkit browser. When used to visit a site with Flash video, the app presents a thumbnail. When tapped, the video is transcoded on Skyfire's servers to HTML5 and streamed to the device. Ed. note: Download Squad got a hands-on with the app before the servers turned to molten slag and the app was pulled.
