Softpress release Freeway 5.3 with added iPhone tools and the ability to easily add FLV

Oxford, UK

Softpress Systems today released Freeway 5.3, a free update to its award-winning web design software. The release offers a new solution to the problem of displaying Flash Video (FLV) content on the iPhone by placing both FLV and iPhone-friendly QuickTime formats of the movie on the page, and serving the appropriate one for the viewer's device.

Additionally, Softpress has announced a special Black Friday promotion. From today until December 7th, anyone purchasing full-priced copies of Freeway Pro or Freeway Express directly from the Softpress Store will receive an iTunes gift certificate via email. Certificates are fully transferrable, and make great holiday gifts. Freeway Pro buyers will receive a $50 certificate and Freeway Express buyers will receive a $20 certificate. More information can be found on the Softpress website.

"The absence of Flash video support on the iPhone has been a headache for many designers," Softpress US Marketing Manager Ian Schray said. "With Freeway 5.3, web developers can use Flash movies in their sites, and be confident that iPhone owners won't be left out."
