I said YouTube didn't use HTML5? When?

So out of MILLIONS of sites with video.. Let's say I visit 100 every month... I'm going to download 100 apps to use to view their video? That is ridiculous and you know it.

No, and that's not the point. You've constantly said the iPad will only truly be usable when HTML5 is dominant. This is false.

My point IS and always has been... Jobs lied by saying that MOST video was already available...

No, he didn't. It is available.

Just because most video COULD be available if everyone uses html5 or provides an app or provides a direct link (which is inane).. doesn't make it so. And you are DEAD wrongin saying " For every site that has no substitute, there's one that does" maybe for the 5 sites YOU visit but that simply isn't true for the ENTIRE web.

And the same hyperbole from you isn't true: h264 isn't playable without flash and HTML5 which leaves very few sites delivering video to the iPad.

I think the crux of your argument comes to this line... " If (insert any website) put it on their website, it would play" (in reference to direct links of h264 video in html4) .. yes it WOULD but no site wirth a damn ever WOULD...
|
You continue to miss the point. You've said repeatedly that to play H264 videos you'd need HTML5 or Flash - one of which isn't here yet and one of which is not allowed on the iPad. This is what you've said. Do you want me to quote you like 1000 times in this thread saying similar things?

so aren't you the one who loves to bandy about the term "vaporware"... until the MAJORITY of sites switch to HTML5, or create an app or decide to go FULL reerun and put a direct link up... you are wrong... sorry but them's the ACTUAL FACTS... whether you want them to be or not.

Continue to ignore the fact that non-HTML5 sites can serve h264 video without flash. Please, continue to ignore it. Direct link is irrelevant.
