FLV is a flash video and the iPad and iPhone don't support flash. You're able to play it in Safari because you have the flash plugin installed.

iPhone or iPod touch can't play flv videos on the web because they haven't Flash Player.

An flv file is a Flash Video file. iOS devices do not have a Flash player (and probably never will). It works in your desktop browsers because they have a Flash plugin installed.

You'll have to convert your video file to something that iOS devices can digest (.mp4).
