Adobe Flash Video now on iPhones & iPads

[revision3fan]

Adobe Flash video will be now viewable on iPhones and iPads, but apparently not games or ads. Adobe has announced a new version of its Flash media server, 4.5, that has this capability.

Will Revision3 support this?

Also: What about flash Player 11? Does Revisoin3 recommend an upgrade for viewing content?

Thank you.

No, we will not be implementing mobile Flash players, as we consider that experiece a downgrade from our current HTML5 iOS platform (which is pretty slick, if you haven't tried it yet). We are continuing to improve our HTML5 support, instead of building new Flash-based players.

We were actually one of the first to do HTML5 video on the full iOS lineup, so our video has been streaming great there without Flash for quite some time. Our site works on iPad, iPhone, and even recent iPod touch models -- without needing to install Flash.

I haven't seen any significant differences between the latest 10.x Flash player and 11 in my limited testing, so don't be afraid to upgrade but don't feel like you need to just for our site. We won't be officially supporting 11 until its official release, as there WERE some nasty bugs in earlier pre-release versions that didn't allow it to work well with our site. Hope that helps.
