That's because Skyfire works differently than a regular browser. your phone never had flash, skyfire's servers did. putting Flash on a device is a different story.

Maybe so, but it IS possible. Either way I think skyfire is our best bet anyway as I hear they are to come out with an android version soon.

I don't think anyone is saying that it's not possible. It's just that Adobe doesn't want to do it.

I hope skyfire comes to android, although i wouldn't be surprised if they charged for it. Skyfire works by having one of their server side computers visiting the website and it essentialy streams a screenshot of the web browser to your phone.
