I am working on a web application which needs quicktime plugin in the browser to work.
Do we have an android version for Apple quicktime browser plugin? If yes how can i download/buy it?
Quicktime-OTHER, Other OS

Apple only produce a QuickTime plugin for Mac OS X and Windows. I am not even sure equivalent capability exists on iOS devices, it certainly does not and will not for Android. There used to be QuickTime for Java but that is now long discontinued.
If you merely looking to provide the ability to play a compatible video file, then using H.264 video and the HTML5 video tag is the new preferred method. This will work on iOS, Mac OS X, Windows (supported by both Apple and Microsoft), and probably Google Chrome platforms.

Thanks John for the quick answer.
Can you give me some pointer to verify the same for blackberry/iphone and other similar platforms.
Thanks again

iPhone is an iOS device and all iOS devices support using the HTML5 video tag to play H.264 video. Blackberries will be dependent on the operating system, older versions of the Blackberry operating system had one of the suckiest mobile platform web-browsers in the world, newer ones are much improved.
A quick Google suggest Blackberries do now support some HTML5 features but not the video tag, however for better Blackberry information your better of going to RIMs own forums.

Hi John, thanks for the reply!!!
However, my problem is a legacy web application which has to be opened up in a mobile browser. Porting it to HTML5 from quicktime is something on cards but not immenent.
So i am a bit specific about support of a tag like -
<EMBED src="http://mydomain.com/video.mov" width="320" height="240" autoplay="true"
controller="false" loop="false" bgcolor="#000000" pluginspage='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/'>
</EMBED> in a mobile based browser.
Thanks again!!!
If you can I suggest you put a test page on a webserver (even Mac OS X client will do the job, it does not need a full server) and try accessing it. However while I am not a web developer myself I think your example code is unlikely to work on Android or Blackberry (any versions).
How can i get quicktime plugin for android browser
