For the first time you can play Flickr videos back on your phone from m.flckr.com. Formerly users could upload video from their phones but soon they can play them back on a variety of handsets.
The video player is based on the
Yahoo! Video Platform and takes advantage of its ability to serve
content to a wide variety of phones with different specs. They will launch video playback out over the coming weeks for
handsets that support streaming video, starting with the iPhone and
iPod Touch today, and more later.
The new m.flickr.com design makes it easier to view photostreams and sets, and puts recent
activity front and center. Added capabilities include, adding contacts, favorite
images, and change your privacy and permission settings as well as exploring the latest "interestingness" photos.
iPhone users have have been testing a beta version since. October. New versions are planned smartphones
that support browsers like Webkit, Firefox Mobile, and Opera Mobile.
