With the Apple-Abode spat over the capabilities of Flash in the mobile arena full on, browser maker Skyfire has announced the launch of its Skyfire 2.0 version for the Android handsets, using pseudo-Flash support.

Skyfire’s pseudo-Flash support for the Android will also help other developers looking to take the Android route well ahead of the expected late-2010 launch of the Android firmware 2.2, which will provide Android-based handsets with OS-level support of the format.

According to the information forwarded by Skyfire, pseudo-Flash support gives “access to Flash videos on a web page that otherwise would not play.” In other words, whenever Flash content in a Web page is identified by the browser, the content is sent to Skyfire’s cloud servers for its conversion into HTML5 on-the-fly, and its subsequent streaming back in that format.

Further, noting that Apple has thus far refused to Flash on its “i” devices, Skyfire said that it is working on the development of an iPhone version of its browser; which would likely be submitted to the App Store later this year.

Adding that the cloud support enables “faster and smoother video playback and extended battery life by off-loading more of the work to cloud servers,” Skyfire CEO Jeff Glueck said, via Yahoo, that Apple’s approval of the Skyfire iPhone version will give it “the best of both worlds.”
