Dropstr HTML 5 Updates

February 28th, 2010

Over the next few weeks we will be rolling out a new option for our users to enable HTML5 on their Dropstr Cloud. What this will do is enable where deemed fit to which flash applications such as Youtube videos into HTML5 compliant video streams for embed video players.

Best example is the new Apple Ipad device, which uses HTML5 to play videos via youtube. Once you enable this option vis your Settings, Dropstr will convert your saved YouTube videos on the fly to HTML5 compliant.
