The Skyfire Web Browser is now available to download from the App Store.

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.

FEATURES:
•Play millions of Flash videos – everyday, with no limits!
•All-new ‘Skybar’ toolbar gives one-click access to video and related content
•Be social: Share via Facebook and Twitter.
•Stay in touch: Unique Facebook 'Quickview' allows you to see your wall and feeds with one click.
•Standard browser elements: Tabs, search, sharing, bookmarks, history, etc.
•Video search, with safe search option helps you quickly find videos about your favorite topic
•‘Desktop’ option loads pages as on a desktop browser, giving a greater selection of video (vs. mobile sites)
•Private Browsing option: Browse with no history and cookies left behind
•Click the ‘Explore’ button for related videos, news trends, photos and tweets!

NOTES:
•Flash VIDEO content is supported, but Flash Games and Apps are NOT supported (aren’t there enough games on iPhone already?)
•Hulu NOT supported (they don’t allow it), but scores of other premium sites available
•List of supported sites grows daily (request new sites via Settings >> Feedback menu)
•It may take 15-25 seconds for videos to load: Preparing goodness takes time…

You can purchase Skyfire Web Browser from the App Store for $2.99.

I stand corrected. Apparently the app got pulled because "the peak load on our servers and bandwidth caused the video experience to degrade" per Skyfire's website http://is.gd/gGUy3 I apologize, Apple, I didn't know Skyfire voluntarily left the sandbox.

Skyfire: Hey, I got this new browser that allows you to watch Flash videos. Apple: Ok, submit it. (Months later) Apple: You are approved. Up on the App Store 11/3/10 Apple: Oops. It will do Flash. Off the App Store 11/3/10 BTW it works great. Although just videos, it is easier to use than CloudBrowse. Thanks again, Apple, for keeping Flash out of your sandbox :/

This doesn't work for most of the sites (eg. IGN)... Jailbreak and get iMobileCinema for free...
