Title: xtra frame on smart phone
Post by: r534me on April 18, 2011, 08:38:47 AM
Has anyone watched xtra frame using a smart phone like a Droid? I have an iphone and it doesn't allow flash and I am looking into alternatives to it.

I'd like to find that out too. I remember reading about an app that plays flash, but it was only for certain types, what ever that means. It was like a $1.99, but not sure if its gonna work. I don't remember the name of it either, but try and do a search.
I know it sounds like I'm in denial, but I'm not.

I think the app you're talking about is Skyfire. I haven't tried it either, and would love to know the answer.

Skyfire does not work for xtra frame. There is an app called iSwifter which runs its own browser that allows all types of flash content. Unfortunately, it is only available on the iPad currently, but they claim to be working towards an iPhone version. And it certainly works as advertised on my iPad. It pretty much can handle any website just like the browser you would use on your home computer. Another alternative is remote accessing your home computer. I have an app called Splashtop that allows me to do this and I can just use my home computers browser to watch xtra frame on my iphone. It does work well most times, but can get sluggish if on a slow connection.

Interesting, thanks.
Also, I am looking into the samsung infuse or htc inspire as an alternative. The screen is bigger and comes with it's own flash player. I have to go to ATT and see if xtra frame works on the HTC. The samsung is not out yet.
