I stand corrected. Apparently the app got pulled because "the peak load on our servers and bandwidth caused the video experience to degrade" per Skyfire's website http://is.gd/gGUy3
I apologize, Apple, I didn't know Skyfire voluntarily left the sandbox.

Skyfire: Hey, I got this new browser that allows you to watch Flash videos.
Apple: Ok, submit it.
(Months later)
Apple: You are approved. Up on the App Store 11/3/10
Apple: Oops. It will do Flash. Off the App Store 11/3/10
BTW it works great. Although just videos, it is easier to use than CloudBrowse.
Thanks again, Apple, for keeping Flash out of your sandbox :/

This doesn't work for most of the sites (eg. IGN)... Jailbreak and get iMobileCinema for free...
