How to stream flash videos on Windows Mobile

Question

User1365261802 posted

Hi everyone,

I have a problem. I have a Palm Treo Pro 850w phone, which is quite old. It runs with Windows Mobile Professional 6.1.0. The problem that I have is that I can't find any web browser that can fully support adobe flash.

I have Opera Mobile 10 which has a flash plug-in called flash lite. It works partially and is only able to play Youtube videos. I have tried other programs such Skyfire 1.5, Bolt 1.5, Mach 5, but none of which work. I read online that Adobe has actually stopped producing adobe flash programs for smart phones.

I would like to know if there any ways that I can actually stream flash files online without using adobe flash. I also read that smartphones are now moving towards using HTML5. How does this work?

Please help.

Thanks.

Answer: HTML 5 is now supported by all latest smartphones (iPhone/ipad, Android, BB, WP7) & Video players are well rendered due to rich support of <Video> tag in HTML 5.

P.S: Not only in Smartphones , HTML5 is future for Windows Slates (Windows 8 Developer Preview Metro Style Apps) too.
