Skyfire 3.0 for iPhone is in the AppStore, bringing improved Facebook experience for those who need one. The popular “I can do Flash” mobile web browser does its social magic by integrating Facebook Connect to deliver all of the social media features that are already available on Skyfire for Android.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Popular Content – shows you the content your Facebook friends have Liked.
  • Fireplace Feed Reader – a filtered list of your Facebook feed that includes links to web pages, images and videos posted by your Facebook friends.
  • Facebook Portal Integration – quick access to your Facebook feed, profile and Places. In most cases removes the need to open Facebook’s native app.
  • Like button – which allows you to “Like” or “Unlike” any web page directly from the browser.

In addition, Skyfire 3.0 also comes with support for additional Flash video content from websites that weren’t supported in the past releases. Prior to streaming to your iPhone, the clips get optimized on Skyfire’s servers to save you bandwidth and money.

In a nutshell – if you crave for Flash video on your iPhone and are at the same time savvy Facebook user, paying 3 bucks won’t be a problem. AppStore link follows after a short demo video. Enjoy!
