Apple is Removing Skyfire Web Browser from the App Store

It was just a couple of minutes when we reported about the release of Skyfire web browser for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The app works as a Flash player for iOS devices by converting Flash content into HTML5 and sending to your device to work as HTML5 content.

Unluckily, Apple started to remove the app for some reason we don't know! as the reports on Twitter form users live in other countries as Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Italy, and Greece can't get Skyfire web browser for iPhone as it's been removed. In case Apple remove Skyfire from all countries, it may get on Cydia for the same price or something cheaper. Stay tuned as we'll cover the news about that one!

UPDATE 1: According to some Twitter followers, Skyfire is no more available in Australia, Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Portuguese, Spain, Norwegian.

UPDATE 2: Skyfire is not available in all countries world wide. Developers of Skyfire web browser explains what happened 'SOLD OUT':

Skyfire for iPhone has been received with unbelievable enthusiasm. Despite our best attempts and predictions, the demand far exceeds our initial projections.

The user experience was performing well for the first few hours, but as the surge continued, the peak load on our servers and bandwidth caused the video experience to degrade.

Thus we are effectively ‘sold out’ and will temporarily not accept new purchases from the App Store. We are working really hard to increase capacity and will be accepting new purchases from the App Store as soon as we can support it.

VLC for iOS May be Pulled from the App Store

VLC, the popular meida player that's developed by French 3rd party studio Applidium, has landed on the iPad in September and then on the iPhone last week to play almost any video. But as noticed by iLounge, it may be pulled from the app store very soon for some reasons explained below.

Apple has been sent a formal notification of copyright infringement regarding the way VLC for iOS is distributed in the App Store. Rémi Denis-Courmont, one of the primary developers of VLC, explained that Apple’s iTunes Terms and Conditions don't allow users to install both free and paid apps on more than 5 devices. This goes against the original GNU license VLC's code is based on.

In any case, while the rules for distribution of open-source or "free" (as in speech) software are extremely relaxed, they do exist and have to be abode by. VLC and open-source software in general would not have reached their current quality and success if it had not been for their license. Therefore, blatant license violation cannot be tolerated at any rate. Concerned users are advised to look for application on more open mobile platforms for the time being.

So, in case you don't have the app already on your iPhone, better get it now as it still available here for free.

BitTorrent App for iPhone Hits the App Store [Updated]

Apple has officially approved the first application that makes it possible to manage the download of Torrent files directly to your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The new BitTorrent app called IS Drive. The app is intended as a tool for managing ImageShack’s torrent download service.

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol that shares the bandwidth load for large file transfers between large pools of users. Apple has always blocked such apps for fear of allowing illegal activity that could undermine its iTunes business, this approval comes after Apple published a new set of guidelines, which provided an opportunity for many developers to take advantage of this (e.g. GV connect and GV Mobile+).

The developer of the app is aware that the description has deliberately avoided mentioning the word "Torrent", describing the app as useful only to manage an account ImageShack Drive. IS Drive is currently selling for $4.99.

What do you think? If Apple realized that this app is a Torrent app, will Apple pull this app out the App Store?

Update 1: IS Drive has been removed from the App Store, see full details here.
