Serving live streams to iPad and Android using FMS?

I need to serve live video streams to Flash players, Apple devices, and Android and Blackberry handhelds. Right now I'm using FMS (actually, the CDN I stream through is running FMS), and configuring Wowza Media Server to suck the Flash stream from FMS and reprocess it for Apple, Android, and Blackberry. It works well, but it's kind oif a PITA having to have a separate server just to handle mobile devices.

Is anyone aware of any plans to release a version of FMS that will stream directly to Apple and Android? I saw a video clip on Techtilt of an Adobe presentation at NAB where they were showing live streaming to iPad, but that clip didn't way anything about when we might actually see that version of FMS become available.

    The video clip at NAB is a sneakpeak into the upcoming release of the FMS which supports streaming to iPad and iPhone, and its coming up very soon.

    Streaming to android and other devices is already supported on the released version of FMS4 technically, so you can give that a try, and with this upcoming release, you can be sure that all the mobile devices would run high performing videos.

    i know i have not answered what you asked for, exactly, but be assured it will be very soon. We hope to meet your expecations.

    Thank you !
