The description made in the press conference is a bit misleading, reads like it uses somehow FlashLite, while it is completely independent from Flash and just decode and display FLV formatted video streams. Nice anyway (wonder what are the reactions of On2, considering that the format is patented)
Ciao Emanuele,
that’s a good question, don’t know much info about it!
