Have you been itching to watch flash videos on your iPhone or iPad? Well, It looks like you are going to continue waiting. Shortly after the Skyfire Browser app debuted on the App store it was sold out as a result of demand exceeding Skyfire Labs’s predictions and its servers. The service apparently suffered quality degradation as hundreds of users purchased the $2.99 app and began streaming videos. The official Skyfire Labs blog post states that the company will be working on adding capacity to their systems and will make the App available as soon as they can support additional users.
In the mean time you can head over to the App Store or the Skyfire Labs website to learn more about this application.

Things to Keep in Mind
Although the App is currently unavailable, you can be sure that the folks at Skyfire will do everything possible to get the App back on the market once they add more capacity to their servers, but before you spend $2.99 on yet another app, know the following:
- Hulu is not supported.
- Videos can take about 15-20 seconds to load.
- Not all websites are supported.
- Games and Flash Apps are not supported.
- Soon to be released iOS 4.2 appears to have playback issues.
