    YouTube’s mobile site gets a slick HTML5 overhaul for mobile WebKit.

    Todd Dominey announces SlideShowPro Mobile:


  SlideShowPro Mobile is an entirely new media player built using HTML5 that doesn’t require the Flash Player plugin and can serve as a fallback for users accessing your web sites using these devices. But it’s not just any fallback — it’s specially designed for touch interfaces and smaller screen sizes. So it looks nothing like the SlideShowPro player and more like a native application that’s intuitive, easy to use, and just feels right.

    Implementing HTML5 Video on the iPhone

    Jonathan Stark outlines some quick notes about implementing HTML5 video on the iPhone:

    • Poster image is only displayed until the video is loaded.
    • True/false attributes do not require values.
    • Video can be played (and heard) even when not visible.
      i.e. video { display: none }
    • The autoplay attribute is ignored on iPhone.
      i.e. will not autoplay no matter what
    • The controls attribute is ignored on iPhone.
      i.e. controls are visible no matter what
    • The remote file is downloaded whether or not the user clicks play.
    • You can interact with the DOM while iPhone video player is open.
    • You can make a video autoplay on iPhone by navigating directly to the video url. However, this is useless within the context of an Ajax app because it spawns a browser window.
