I noticed yesterday that I am able to play HTML5 audio on my iPhone now without it launching Quicktime. This is super exciting and opens up a world of possibilities for iPhone + Web + Audio.
However, I tried the same technique on an iOS 3.0 device and it doesn’t seem to be supported. Somewhere between 4.2 and 3.0 this feature set must have been added, but I haven’t been able to track down what version it was updated in.
Does anyone know? Thanks.
I’m pretty sure it was made available with 4.0. I worked on a project that depended on it and from what I know it only supports progressive downloading. That means the server has to support rpeat requests for chunks of the audio.
