Skyfire, a web browser that I recently concluded was primarily a porn browser for iPhone, is heading to the iPad soon.
Demonstrated in the video above, the Skyfire iPad app will carry some new features in addition to its core functionality. Like the iPhone version, Skyfire automatically transcodes Flash video into HTML5 so it’s playable on Apple’s iOS, which doesn’t normally support Flash.
The iPad version of Skyfire adds the ability to view your Facebook, Twitter and Google Reader feeds ? though I’m not sure why you’d want to. As I’ve argued before, most people are going to download this app to watch naked people do naughty things to each other, because otherwise there isn’t much other compelling video out there that’s still encoded in Flash.
A Skyfire spokesman said the iPad app should be arriving “hopefully before Christmas” and will probably cost $5.
