![]() You can leave text comments, however, which is certainly better than zero access to VoiceThread through mobile Safari currently. There is NOT virtual microphone support with Cloud Browse, however, so it is NOT possible to actually record audio for a new VoiceThread. This VNC solution does support playing Club Penguin, as well as accessing flash-based websites like VoiceThread for playback purposes. The performance of Cloud Browse was pretty snappy for me today over home wifi. The company which makes Cloud Browse, AlwaysOn Technologies, is Boston-based, but in today’s networked world it’s anyone’s guess where their actual servers “live.” By default Cloud Browse users are connected via an anonymous account, and can immediately click the “web” button at the bottom of the window to enter a website address / URL. Thanks to a tweet from Dean Shareski, a phone call from Karen Montgomery, and a recent post on iPhoneInCanada, I learned today about the free, Apple-approved / App Store downloadable program “ Cloud Browse.” Cloud Browse ( direct App Store link) uses VNC technology to let anyone run a full, desktop version of the FireFox web browser on their Apple mobile device.Īfter installing the free app, upon launching users are connected to a virtualized version of FireFox running somewhere else on planet earth. The screenshot below shows a scene from Webkinz running on my iPad, which I captured this morning when my six year old was playing on it. ![]() While Apple may not support Flash at this point on the iPhone (and may never support it, despite possible lawsuits and FCC inquiries) VNC (virtual network computing) technologies DO make it possible to access flash-based websites on an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad today. Steve Jobs made it clear last month Apple does not plan to support Flash (a proprietary Adobe format) and instead wants developers to embrace HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. ![]() Club Penguin and Webkinz continue to be some of their favorite websites, but both of them are built almost entirely with Flash. If there’s one thing my children have lamented more than any other when it comes to iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad technologies, it’s the lack of support for Adobe’s Flash technology. Addition : CloudBrowse is no longer free, it was at the time I wrote this post initially.
