As part of our latest round of work for Sun Microsystems, the Brightcove professional services team put together an iPhone-specific interface for their video portal. This takes advantage of Brightcove's support for MPEG-4 video and multiple renditions, allowing Sun to add a video file specifically for iPhone viewing to each of their published videos.



Sun has deployed iPhones to a large number of their employees, so this should be of use to them. Accessing channelsun.sun.com from an iPhone or iPod Touch will take you directly to this project.



We are also ramping up an initiative at Brightcove to share more knowledge and information about the world of video with our customers, using a new site and forum combination for publishing articles and answering questions. I have planned two articles around designing for video. One will be about simple iPhone-specific websites using the above project as an example, and another will be a longer article about the difference between short- and long-form content, and how the experiences for both should be designed. Fun stuff!
