Browser-maker Skyfire has submitted its browser for iPhone app store approval. It follows a few months after Opera's success on the iPhone as an alternative browser. I never use Opera on my iPod Touch but I do use it on Android in low-bandwidth scenarios; it outperforms Android's native browser under those conditions.

People are very familiar with Apple's no-flash policy. As the video below explains, Skyfire has built its iPhone browser on top of Safari and then transcodes Flash into HTML5 (Greystripe does this for ads created in Flash). That means, technically, there's no Flash on the Skyfire iPhone browser but it can access Flash-based content. 

Without real technical insight into whether any of this will violate Apple's approval guidelines I suspect that Skyfire has pulled it off and wiill gain approval. But, as they say, we'll see.
