Skyfire Launches Skyfire for iPad

Skyfire is a great mobile browser that's now available for the Apple iPad. Perhaps the best feature is the fact that Skyfire will play Adobe Flash video files on your webpage. Here are some more details:

The “Video” icon enables users to play millions of Flash videos around the web that otherwise do not play on mobile. This unlocks content trapped behind those error messages with question marks and blue Legos by transcoding the Flash content into HTML5 on Skyfire’s servers.

You just finished reading a story on one of your favorite web sites and want to quickly decide what to read next. Click on the Popular button on the SkybarTM and instantly see what content on the site is most popular within the 500+ million user Facebook community. Recommendations from friends are prioritized and show up at the top of the list.

Load web pages as either the traditional iphone user agent or as a desktop browser. The desktop option gives you more flexibility in accessing web sites and allows discovery of video content that typically you might not see in Mobile Safari.
