[/caption]Skyfire is a browser app which allows iPhone users to view Flash content.
The app was first released on Wednesday, but was later removed. So many people tried to download the app, that the servers simply crashed. After the company had beefed up their equipment, they are making the app available again. This time they got smarter and release the app in batches.
Currently the app is only available in the U.S. Other countries are going to follow soon.
Jeff Glueck, Skyfire Ceo gives an update:
"We are going to open batches of downloads for new users over the coming days. The first batch will be in a few minutes on the Apple App Store. It will be first come, first serve.
Due to overwhelming demand, we are taking this approach because Skyfire believes a good user experience should come first, and we would rather have fewer, happier customers, and add new users as we can support them. We will open the first batches to US users only, with additional country support to follow shortly.
Please note that there may be some initial congestion as a flood of new users simultaneously try to use the service, but try again an hour later and things should smooth out."
The company expects to open more batches frequently over the coming days.
The appshopper.com describes the app:
"Skyfire is unique in the App Store, circumventing Apple’s intentional restriction of Adobe’s multimedia platform by processing Flash video on its own servers and then streaming the video in the acceptable HTML5 format to the iPhone. "
And in their review appshopper.com concludes:
"Skyfire mostly does what it promises and if you don’t have expectations that Skyfire will do away with every Flash content error cube you see in your web browsing forays, $2.99 isn’t a bad price to pay to get a little Flash love on your iPhone."
This is not just an app that you download and then it runs. It is an ongoing service and the Skyfire servers have to carry a lot of load.
