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. Quote:

Let's see...
nbc.com (need an app) ---- FALSE. I'm watching video from nbc.com right now on my iPhone. xhamster.com (PORN!) ----- FALSE. They have a mobile version. mint.com (not even an app) ----- FALSE. Go to the page on iOS and I'm greeted with "Get the free app." 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 Quote:

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. |

Mint, I don't know. Is that even a top 100 site? xhamster is, I know, but it isn't as if there are no other porn sites out there, especially iOS compatible ones. They're a dime a dozen. Quote:
And in any case, there can't be THAT much of a difference between that list and others. Apps and mobile versions abound. Quote:

? What about Voice? Analytics? mobile versions I will let you count.. but you can't count APPS.. it is clear from your posts that you thought HTML5 would make downloading apps unnecessary... so nice try but no dice. That means I get NBC.COM and FOX.COM as examples.. if google isn't fully functional I am counting it as well... I'm tempted to count YouTube since an iPad can only view SOME of the videos. They are moving to HTML5 but they are currently a hodgepodge of h.264 and WebM So I need 6 more? Pretty sure there are 6 more I can find if I bother to look. |

Except your post says I won't HAVE TO download an app.. it will be html5! Yes there are pain in the ass apps for tons of sites.. but I think it's pretty clear from your post that you were saying that HTML5 would make apps to watch video unnecessary... and it will ... someday. But you were wrong about a "few months" or even 12...

Me: blah blah bitch bitch having to download an app for each site sucks... You: in a few months, that won't be a big deal. You can just happily click the link and watch HTML5 video. In the meantime, you can just get an app How is that NOT you saying that I won't have to download an app because HTML5 was on its way? So, NO you don't get to count apps. Quote:
Lastly, YES I will count YouTube since you can NOT view all the videos on an iPad.. I proved that way way back in this thread somewhere.. IF it was fully HTML5 compliant (Apple's version of HTML5 of course) like you predicted then that would not be the case. |

It's also clear to me that you are the PERFECT Apple customer.. your expectations for a web experience are set so amazingly low that you are easy to please. I am much more demanding. |

Are you sure you're not Fox News? Quote:
Most of the top sites offer mobile or HTML5 versions now. That's what is pretty clear. Even sites outside of the top 100 are on the bandwagon. iOS is a perfectly viable platform. Quote:
