iPad Flash Dilemma: Flickr Joins the Bandwagon and Adds HTML 5 Player

The support for iPad video is spreading thick and fast, with news already that companies such as Brightcove are adding HTML 5 support to try and overcome the lack of flash support available on the Apple iPad.

Another company which has joined its support for the iPad is Flickr. The Flickr HTML 5 player will mean that iPad owners can explore Flickr photos and videos.

This is definitely an interesting move for Flickr as it shows that there is a market for iPad owners to explore Flickr photos and videos.

With Google Chrome integrating Flash, it would appear that everyone is joining the battle to solve the problem of flash.  Who will be next?

One thought on “iPad Flash Dilemma: Flickr Joins the Bandwagon and Adds HTML 5 Player

  • Why do they not just make it support flash?

    Shows just how much people are willing to work to make their sites work on the iPad though.

An absolute tech junky, I graduated from the University of Manchester with a degree in Computing and now live on the outskirts of Leeds working with you guessed it, Computers. I love all things gadgety but really dislike wires. For those of you who haven’t worked it out the name of the site is a combination of my nickname (Gaj) and the pronunciation ‘Gadget’.
