Skyfire App Will Bring Flash Videos to iPad

Apple has approved a new app that will allow iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users to view flash videos on their devices.

A app called Skyfire will soon bring flash video content to iOS devices. The app is a web browser built on top of Safari that transcodes flash videos to HTML5 on the fly.

Skyfire will not work translate flash games or other non-video content but the app should make millions of flash videos viewable on iOS devices.

Here are some of Skyfire’s other features.

Adaptive streaming technology ensures optimal utilization of network and processor bandwidth (preserves battery life)

Sharing to Facebook and Twitter – it’s simple!

Facebook Quickview – Check your Facebook News/Wall without opening another app or page

Intuitive and finger friendly user interface for easy browsing experience

Load full desktop webpages on your mobile device

Multi-tab browsing – open up to eight windows and browse simultaneously

Skyfire will be available at the App Store on Thursday for $2.99.
