Interesting to see that BBC News is trialing the use of a Flash player which will allow users to embed video clips into their web pages (T&Cs plus code for the video below here). So, in the spirit of a trial, let’s give it a go using a report on the current UK alternatives to the ‘i-Hype-Phone’.
Easy to do for anyone familiar with embedding code and works fine for me in Wordpress and on MySpace. Work OK for you?

It’s still under trial as far as I know. No doubt results of which will determine if/when it’s rolled out. Only date I’ve seen is that the trial started in January.
