Please watch my video on your phones and tell me if the video can play or not.

Vimeo Video Test. Please watch my video and leave notes.
Please watch my video: http://vimeo.com/24369762

I am creating a survey as to which browsers and devices are able to play my video. If you are unable to watch my video from your device, I would also like to know too. Please leave notes and tell me whic device/computer/smartphone you used to watch my video. Even if you are unable to watch my video, I would also like to know.

My film is a silent film that lasts only 7 seconds long while showing plastic frogs moving around. If you do not see any frogs, that means that the video cannot play.

I wish to know which devices/smartphones/tablets/computers can or canot play my video. Also if anybody knows of any good video sites function well across different platforms and devices, please let me know too.

CHEERS!

Which mobile phone/smartphone did you use to watch my video?

THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO IS TAKING PART IN THE SURVEY. THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO ALREADY PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY !!

I am so grateful that people spent time helping me examine the playability of my video. So I left this note in all-caps because your help was very helpful to me.

If anybody else is reading this, the survey is still taking place. I am sending an advance thank you because each person who responds to the survey is actually helping me to create better videos!

Here is my video : http://vimeo.com/24369762
Leave a response if you can or cannot watch the video. I hope to create better videos in the future by learning from everybody's notes regarding the playability and quality of my silent video.

I can't get it to play using latest opera mobile on android 3.2 sony tablet s. In fact I've had no luck playing any vimeo videos in opera mobile recently, but haven't had time to report a bug. Has anyone else here reported this?
It was a bright, cold day in April...

Yeah, this was brought to my attention in the 'opera mobile for android' section of the forum. With user agent set to desktop, flash to enable (not click to load) and turbo off I can get vimeo vids to play after some messing with it... click a few videos and then hit the back button and the flash player eventually pops up. My other browsers just open my phones video player. Opera plays it from the site. It said the video isn't optimized for mobile but the frogs are cute. up

Oh, My phone is a Dx2 GB 2.3.4. I hate this phone too. I've modded it up one way and down the other and it still has bugs. Motorola really dropped the ball on this one so surely better devices should have more luck.
