I don't think Safari on the iPhone let's you download anything that it doesn't understand (that seems to be pretty much everything)


- Play in a browser via <video> ( I doubt ...) 
When I tried to do that SharePlayer popped up a Quicktime screen. Not surprisingly Quicktime didn't want to play the clip!

From what I've seen it's not much good as a theora player anyway. I've tried a couple of times to stream files using it's "Direct Media URL" and it hasn't really worked.

I will at some point start porting my little Nokia S60 ogg player to iPhone, but that's a long way off (probably six months at the rate I'm going). If you want a phone theora player I recommend going on EBay and picking up a Nokia N82 and then installing my ogg player. They're pretty cheap now and they're a much better camera phone than any iPhone (better than the new iPhone 4 for photos, but not as good for video). I should point out that my player is currently only in an alpha state and I've got a lot of work to do before it can be considered to be a fully usable media player. I'm working on it though!
