Youtube has supported flash-free streams to mobile devices for a long time - long before the iphone came out, even. (I remember seeing this back when I was starting an internship at RIM, several years back)
- gaius 17y agoOK, so Flash isn't necessary to access YouTube, and that is one of Flash supporter's main arguments. Not sure making that point deserves a -4.
- Jun8 17y agoTell me about it :-) I guess there are some people who are very sensitive about this issue. Fact of the matter is: Flash was necessary to access YouTube before Apple demanded the H.264 transcoding.
- Jun8 17y agoThe iPhone debuted on Jan, 2007, YT became publicly available mid-2005. When was your internship, I'm curious? Did they have a separate mobile version of videos? I thought they only had one version of videos, but maybe I missed it.
