Vimeo has announced a new HTML5 universal player to finally bring Flash-free embedded videos to iPad and iPhone. How do you use it?
Starting today it is the new default embed code and is available via the embed button on any Vimeo video. Just copy and paste like any other embed code. This new embed code is available for any video, new or old.
They've also created a small javascript snippet you can add to your site to enable older, legacy embeds to work with the new player.
Mobile versions of all videos, however, is still a Plus feature.
For much, much more on the new feature, check out the link below.

Vimeo adds HTML 5 universal player for iPad, iPhone
Glad to see Vimeo taking some initiative! I'm going to go watch some of their videos now.
Does this mean I will be able to go to any website on my iPhone and watch any video that is on there without getting a little blue box? And do I need to download a html5 player app? Or is it a software update?
I'm beginning my personal blog to share my images experiences. Do you uncover it difficult or easy to submit persistently?
Fantastic site - I enjoy your writing style. I just discovered your site today but will definitely be checking back again. There should be more sites like this.
