Are you ready for the iPad? These sites are

If iPad and iPhone use the same browser, why do the non-mobile versions of nyt.com, cnn.com and vimeo.com still show broken plugin icons where the videos should be when you browse from iPhone? Are they sniffing the user agent and only serving up HTML5 to iPad browsers?

Lots of people have made that connection, come on. But I think most Apple fans are bashing Flash because it's bloated and runs poorly on Apple hardware, not because it's not open source.

Even the iPad ready sites are full of holes where the flash should be! flash4ipad.com/ipad-ready-not-really

Nope. Don't want a netbook. Don't like them and don't want to be bothered with hacking and hoping OS X will run on it every time there is a new version.

I personally think this is absurd. Steve used the phrase 'best web browsing experience ever' (I'm paraphrasing, I couldn't be bothered looking it up) yet the iPad is only going to be able to see 12 sites that are iPad ready?

No matter what you think of Flash (I'm certainly no fan of it), reality is that it is currently the defacto standard for web video.

There's absolutely a market for that. The iPad won't displace many current netbook users, but I'm betting it will ding future potential buyers.

Most iPod users didn't suddenly trash their Rio's. As the market blew up, so did the iPod. Apple is perhaps lagging in the "netbook" race but is about to jump to the front of the line in the "subnotebook tablet" race.

Sometimes you only need a bicycle, not a motorcycle.

Flash is the 'Bastard stepchild of coding'..... thats just great objective journalism. Denial is a terrible thing but I couldn't imagine anyone truly wanting no flash at all on the iPad, deep down I mean. More is better. Having a go at Adobe for their product at not being open source yada yada and at the same time not having a go at Apple for their closed-source apps is hypocritical. I can't believe noone makes that connection.

Isn't it odd that Disney.com is not in an HTML5 format, a company the Steve Jobs sits on their board for??
