How to see Flash on an iPhone
Skyfire CEO Jeffrey Glueck explains how his newly approved browser works
The Skyfire browser, which has been downloaded more than 1.5 million times on Google (GOOG) Android devices, has just been approved as an application for Apple's (AAPL) App Store. It goes on sale at 9 a.m. EDT Thursday for $2.99.
The app gets around Apple's restrictions against Adobe (ADBE) Flash by converting Flash videos into an HTML5 format suitable for viewing MORE

Apple mends a few fences
With partners, developers, competitors and maybe some regulatory agencies
One of Apple's (AAPL) weaknesses as a company -- as even Steve Jobs will admit -- is that it isn't a particularly good neighbor. Like its co-founder and CEO, it can be secretive, prickly and quick to take offense. Witness, for example, the 121 pending lawsuits that list Apple as a plaintiff or defendant.
So it's unusual and sort of refreshing to see MORE

Adobe on Apple: Our glass is half full
Flash apps are already getting approved, but there's still no Flash in the mobile browser
Confusion reigned for much of Thursday following Apple's (AAPL) announcement that it was lifting its restrictions on development tools for iPhone apps.
Wall Street, assuming that this meant that Adobe (ADBE) has won its long-running Flash battle with Steve Jobs, drove the company's stock price sharply higher. Adobe closed the day at $32.86, up $3.55 (12.11%).
Developers, meanwhile, MORE

Why did Apple lift its ban on apps written in Flash?
Steve Jobs once called Flash the No. 1 reason his devices crash. What changed his mind?
With a terse, five-paragraph statement issued Thursday morning, Apple (AAPL) reversed a five-month-old policy that had sparked an industry-wide debate, a government probe and tens of thousands of words of heated commentary -- including Steve Jobs' own April 2010 "Thoughts on Flash."
The newly inoperative policy had prohibited software developers from using cross-platform tools when MORE
