Skyfire?s VideoQ Lets You Save Flash Videos To Watch On Your iPhone Later

Until Adobe and Apple work out their differences (Yeah, right) or the entire Internet miraculously switches to using HTML5 for all video content, the Skyfire browser will always have one steadfast selling point: through some on-the-fly conversion magic, it can play back Flash video content on iOS devices.

The problem: outside of its Flash shortcomings, Safari is great. Most people probably don't want to replace it entirely. So Skyfire gets pushed to the background, waiting for its moment in the sun when the user comes across a video that Safari just refuses to play. Realizing this, Skyfire has started to think outside of the browser. This morning they've released VideoQ, a standalone player for video content that Safari won't touch. It's like the Skyfire browser, minus the browser ? or, in some sense, like a ReadItLater for mobile video.
