Following several other concessions on Apple’s old iron grip, another awesome iOS app has finally broken though — Skyfire. For those unfamiliar with Skyfire, it’s a pretty awesome mobile web browser that’s been around on Android for several months now. The way it works is that it helps navigate Flash-heavy websites by stripping said content and then sending it back to Skyfire’s servers to compress and convert to HTML 5 video. From there,...
