Video on mobile browsers should launch a video player like YouTube does when you follow a link their site. But also there should exist an attribute to avoid this for some cases.


YouTube isn't the only Flash video player though. What if you click a Vimeo link? What about a link on the BBC?

It would be ideal if there were a good native solution for all videos, but I can imagine this to be quite a hard problem.


I said "a video player" meaning a generic one. like when you click an flv link or rtsp, that launches the stock video app in my phone (ics)
