Apple yanks Skyfire browser from the App Store?

Well that was quick! After a few glorious hours in the App Store, it looks like Skyfire has been removed.  We’re not sure if it was early or did something wrong or what.  It seemed like Apple was playing along…maybe it was a little too popular?

Update: Hilarious! Skyfire pulled the app because it was so popular that it was overpowering their Flash-> H.264 video converting servers.  They’ll enable it after they add some capacity…perhaps there was more desire for Flash video than expected.
