Just a quick note for all of our friends in the UK: that SkyFire application that was such a big deal just a few weeks back for kinda-sorta allowing Flash video playback on the iPhone? You can get it now; 21 days after the slightly bumpy US launch, SkyFire has pushed the browser up for sale on the UK App Store. Just in time for the Doctor Who Christmas Special next month! Hurrah!

Thanks to currency conversion, Brits will pay a wee bit more than their US counterparts — but don’t worry, you won’t get gouged too bad: at €2.39, it works out to about $3.15 (versus $2.99 in the US.) It could be worse; you could be an Australian trying to buy games on Steam.
