wow... it seems to be server based... from the article they had to stop selling it since it was a major "strain on their servers" etc..

im glad to see this finally available even though it was short lived... maybe theyll be able to get it all ironed out.

Cloud Browse Lets you use flash video and Java. Not sure if Skyfire is better but I got Cloud Browse back when it was free. Might check it out.

Not sure. I used it once on my 3G and it was slow, but I assumed it was the phone and the OS. So I took it off soon after installing it. I recently got an iP4 and haven't tried it again.
The one time I did try it, it certainly worked, but it was slow. Flash video played and all.

I think this sends a pretty clear message to Mr. Jobs.... his customers want flash, even if he doesn't...... He should set aside his ego and work with Adobe to give his customers the apps they want...just my .02

I totally agree, I am honestly surprised that apple didn't just pull the app for allowing flash to begin with

It came back online today. I loaded on my iPad. It works flash like a vid on a news channel, but like on a photog site with a flash front page, it still tells you to download flash player.
