megavideo (nada) ----- You're one for four, kinda. The VideoBrowser app lets you view megavideo videos on the iPhone without Flash. Interestingly enough, the Android apps all tout that you don't need flash on Android to use this app, either.
fox.com (I think they have an app) ----- Requires to view video clips, but they have an app
I think you just don't know what you can and cannot access with iOS, as proven by your above list. Even when you get to cherry-pick your examples, some of them are flat-out wrong, and others offer an easy alternative.

Those were based on a search I did that had Jan 1 thru July 1 (since you were predicting a Q2 widespread adoption of HTML5) so Mint must have just gotten an app and xhamster and nbc had people bitching about not being able to use them on ipad so those two must have changed since then as well...

I'm looking at the top 100 sites right now ( http://www.alexa.com/topsites)
Most of them are google, or have an app (like eBay, amazon, ESPN -- although, you can stream videos from ESPN and NFL.com both). Of the ones that aren't, things like torrent sites, I wouldn't need to access them on a mobile device, anyway, because I'm not going to be torrenting from my iPad.
If you're talking 90% of ALL websites, then yeah, it's nowhere near that. Never said it would be, though.
Again, show me EXACTLY where I said that Flash would be dead in Q2 of this year. I never said that, so stop asserting that I did. Either post it up, or drop it (which means dropping it, because I never said it). |
Ok, first off .. Alexa is a crap ranking for top sites.. there methodology is awful.
And since you brought up Google.. that is a perfect example... Google Docs, Voice and a number of other things I use daily through Google... do not work worth a shit on an iPad.
I am not saying you said Flash would go away .. you said that HTML5 adoption would make it a non-issue by Q2.. THAT is where you were dead wrong. That said.. there were others (Irishjayhawk) who made more aggressive claims. Either way.. I was clear that it would take 18 months and here we are 18 months later.
