Skyfire being rereleased into App Store ‘in batches,’ coming to other nations in due time

Good news, sick-and-tired Safari users — Skyfire ‘s back! Sort of. After hitting the App Store and subsequently crashing / burning under the load, the company yanked it in order to get its server situation under control. Now that it has had 48 hours to pony up for extra bandwidth (a wild guess, there), it looks as if it’s ready to cautiously let even more people join the fun. The CEO has confirmed via a blog post that Skyfire will “open batches of downloads for new users over the coming days,” with the first batch hitting right about now. It’ll be first come, first serve, so you know what to do there. In related news, he also affirmed that it’s still available to US downloaders for now, but that “additional country support” would follow shortly. Huzzah!
