5 Interesting HTML5 Video (Media) Players Implementation Across the Web

Here are some great Media Players to implement HTML5 videos on your website. Enjoy!

Adding video to a webpage has never been so easy. But thanks to the arrival of HTML 5, website designers and developers will now be able to add video in a website in the same way they are habituated to add an image in a website. However, in order to make this thing work, video functionality has to be incorporated into the browsers. The good thing is that W3C has already come up with some guidelines on how video should work in a browser and now it is up to the browser developers to follow the rules to make it work. Firefox is quick enough to upgrade itself and other browsers are also following its suit.

Though a number of plugins are available such as RealPlayer, Silverlight, Quicktime etc to view a video on a web page, HTML5 is virtually bringing a revolution in this sphere by standardizing video playback across different devices and web browsers. The goal is to find a standard method for embedding video in website that will work in different platforms. Here in this article, we are going to showcase a list of some of the best HTML5 media players implementations that can help you to add some interesting elements in your next website design project:

Bug in iOS Fails to Recognize Daylight Savings in Europe, Android Users Chuckle

We couldn’t help but mention this story.  According to THOUSANDS of reports across Europe today, there appears to be a major bug in iOS that can’t understand Daylight Savings time and left thousands of i*hone owners an hour late to work today if they were using the stock alarm app.  And to make matters worse, U.S. owners are reporting that their phones were waking them up an hour earlier than normal when we all know that our day doesn’t come until the 7th.

Of course, no Android related alarm clock delays have been announced.

Oh and this tweet in preparation for Steve J*bs’ response is perfect…

@diveintomark: THE IPHONE ALARM CLOCK IS FINE. YOU’RE JUST SLEEPING WRONG.

And back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Motorola Droid 2 Discontinued at Best Buy, D2 Global Cometh

droid-2-discontinued-600x355

The Motorola Droid 2 Global is just weeks away, and it’s just about fact now that once it hits shelves you can expect the standard Droid 2 to be a thing of the past. Making moves in that direction, Best Buy has begun to pull its stock of D2 handsets to prepare for the Global version and its 1.2GHz processor. The phone has been flagged in BB inventory as “Discontinued,” so bring on those world-ready radios.

Wi-Fi only Galaxy Tab found, passes through FCC

After learning that the Galaxy Tab would be hitting T-Mobile and most other carrier’s shelves on November 10th for $400, there is still one question that keeps us thinking; will there be a Wi-Fi only version? Users with a Wi-FI only version will only be able to access the internet when in an area where they can connect to Wi-Fi. A model of the Galaxy Tab called the GT-P1010 was recently leaked, and it appears it will be the Wi-Fi version that some of us have been waiting for.

The Wi-Fi only version shown above recently passed through the FCC. This is great for consumers who don’t want to pay monthly fees on top of their current phone bill. No word on when the Wi-Fi version will be out or how much it will cost compared to the ones that get service. We will keep you updated and let you know when more info comes out on pricing/release date. Stay tuned!
