I tried to play the demo videos on my Samsung Galaxy S II (Android 2.3.5), both with Dolphin Browser v8.8.2 and the stock web browser, but it doesn't seem to work in either of them.

Made Android work with native controls. Similarl to iPhone. Here is a demo:

This is for upcoming 5.0.1 version.

Same here. It does not work in the stock Android browser or in Chorme, but it plays in Opera Mobile. It seems like a very basic oversight. I suspect this is the reason YouTube is so dominant: It works reliably everywhere.
But not on iPads or environments where Flash is not supported. They have certainly improved here but definitely not reliable everywhere.

And obviously Android we'll make Flowplayer work on stock Android browser. That's a oversight from our part on the initial release.
