 * Does anyone have any experience with the PodPress player working on the iphone
   browser? It works on my android HTC EVO but I have a report from an iPhone user
   that the player doesn’t appear in his browser.
    Thank you! Jeremy

 * Do iphones support flash yet?
 * I haven’t kept up on it…. but most of the media players are flash based, that
   may be the problem

 * The MP3 players in podPress are Flash players and Rev.Voodoo is right. The iPhone
   and older Android phones have no Flash plugin. That is why the players are not
   visible.
 * But if you touch on the download link, the download or the iPhone-own player 
   starts to play the mp3 files.
 * One of the next versions of podPress will use the HTML5 `<audio>` tag as player
   and the flash player only as fallback solution.

 * Today, I added some further modifications to the current [Development Version](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podpress/download/).
   That version will use for .mp3 files the HTML 5 `<audio>` tag (instead of the
   Flash players) in browsers with the Webkit engine (e.g. Safari, Chrome) of the
   version 525 and newer (see a [comparison of the layout engines](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_%28HTML5_Media%29#Audio_format_support)
   with regard of their support of the HTML 5 `<audio>` element).
    podPress displays
   the selected Flash player in all other browsers.

 * So does that mean when the next update comes out we’ll have an awesome HTML5 
   player for our visitors on iPhone/iPad/Safari?

 * Yes. But the upcoming version will show the HTML5 player only for mp3 in Safari(
   incl. iPad/iPhone) and Chrome browsers and for OGG/OGV files in Firefox and Opera
   browsers.
 * I plan to expand this to other mpeg media file types too, but in this upcoming
   version.
