Dailymotion, an online video sharing site boasting 4.7 million users per day, is reinforcing its goal to bring superior video content to new devices and broader audiences by launching an iPhone compatible version of the site.
The new site, which you can find at http://iphone.dailymotion.com/, features a simplified interface and Quicktime-compatible encoding – both features designed specifically to give a high-quality viewing experience to iPhone’s Safari web brower.
One cool feature is the ability to perform keyword searches for videos. The results are returned as thumbnail images with a play icon that can be directly tapped on the iPhone’s touch screen, launching the video in full screen mode.
Dailymotion claims to have 20,000 new videos uploaded everyday and is in the top 50 websites worldwide (based on traffic count) according to Alexa. In France, Dailymotion’s native country, the site ranks number 8.
