We need to change the logic on whether or not to show the "Multiple Uploads" menu item in the Document Library Portlet. Users who have an HTML5-supported browser, but did not opt to install Flash are unable to use this piece.

Update logic so that the following Use Cases would allow the user to see the "Multiple Uploads" menu item:

• HTML5 + Flash Version 9
• HTML5 + Flash Version 8
• HTML5 Only
• Flash Version 9 Only

...but preventing these Use Cases from seeing the "Multiple Uploads" menu item:

• Flash Version 8 Only
• iPad

The logic will change from
show if flash version is at least 9
to
show if the browser is not iOS AND (either flash version is at least 9 OR the browser supports html5)

testing this logic in the above 6 use cases: http://jsfiddle.net/marcistheman/qDdn2/6/
