Trying to get a copy of the Skyfire browser for your iOS device? You may not have much luck, as the pseudo-Flash-capable browser has just disappeared from iTunes App Stores around the globe, mere hours after its splashy debut. When we try to download it for ourselves in the United States we get the message immediately above, and RazorianFly readers are chiming in with reports that the app is no longer available in Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Norway, Spain and the UK.

I got it on time and have been putting the app through its paces. It works! Actually, it works for the most part. Performance on 3G is extremely impressive. I was able to watch an episode of Modern Family with no issues.

Looks like i foresaw (and on record) the issues with SkyFire's distribution/scaling. I did not expect the app to be pulled from the App store by the developers themselves. I did not know they had that direct of access to actually be so quick.

This is a very smart move on behalf of the SkyFire team. It shows that they've obviously thought of the traffic this will generate. I wonder however if there are users that got the news of the release late and missed the download period all together. I reckon that the odds of these users going back and checking every so often for the availability are slim. Choices available: wait and check, forget about it or pirate it. Who loses?
