Streaming music/video

[TaknByD]

Just bought my iphone today and noticed that some of the sites that I listen to streamed music or videos to do not work. Instead it shows a little blue box in the place of the player. Is there any way around this at all?

the site uses a plugin that your iphone's browser doesn't have, probably flash. there is some talk of the flash plugin coming out with the new firmware, but it has not been confirmed.

man I hope you are right cause streaming music and videos are a hugh part of my online time. Now I guess we just sit and wait. Thanks for the heads up though.

check out flytunes.fm on your safari browser. This is a streaming music website for iPhone.

or seeqpod which lets you basically search and listen to any song on your iPhone.

As far as the browser in its current state, its basically a text HTML reader. Not very useful in todays web 2.0 world. These days so many sites use rich media that its pointless to not have flash.

So any idea when the new firmware is goiing to be coming out, or is it just rumors?

where do we go to download the new firmware when the new firmware comes out?

When it comes out, which may or may not be June 9, it will be through iTunes on the check for updates tab when you plug your phone in.
