We just launched Adobe TV Mobile, which means you can now watch all your favorite Adobe TV videos on your iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android phone, and Android tablet.  Simply visit tv.adobe.com from your tablet or phone and you’ll be automatically re-directed to an optimized experience for your device.

Why did we do this? Plain and simple, it is by far the #1 feature request from our audience. And it was no small task.  I am really proud of what my team has accomplished with this, and once I’ve gotten some sleep I’ll be sharing some of the challenges we faced in pulling this off.

But, to be honest, this post has an additional intent, other than the self-promotional aspect. I want to emphasize the following: we added iPad/iPhone support because our customers asked for it. It’s that simple. There’s no subtext related to Flash, which we continue to use to deliver our content onto Flash-supported devices. We believe in delivering our content to all platforms and devices that are meaningful to our audience. We also believe in using our own tools, the best authoring tools on the planet, to create cross-platform, cross-device experiences.

We hope you enjoy Adobe TV mobile. Please let me know your impressions in the comments!

    This is indeed good news. However, why limit this Flash-less method of delivering your videos to iOS devices only? I sit behind a corporate firewall/proxy server at work. I cannot watch any videos from Adobe TV on my Mac (10.6) using the current Flash Player. (This is a known issue to Adobe since a year ago.)

    I would love to watch HTML-based videos on my Mac. Will this be possible? I can use Safarai’s Developer menu to spoof the client to be an iOS device, but that’s a huge pain.

    Great news. It’s not working great om my iPhone 3GS though. Videos play only like 2 out of 10 times.

    Bob, I noticed that, even when I switch to the regular site on an iPhone, I do not have the buttons to select a video to be translated. Is it normal?
