I paid my $2.99 and downloaded the app which promised to take Flash video and transcodes it into HTML5-compatible H.264 format, but due to overwhelming demand, I never got it to work."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1288919811.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Perhaps all those that are "fine without Flash" had a change of heart, or perhaps they were just curious how it would work on the iPhone. Or it could be some other reason, but bottom line the demand exceeded the capacity thus causing Skyfire to be put into "sold out" mode. They plan on upping capacity and offering it again in the near future.
