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.

The crux of this argument is simple.. you and others said Flash was dying.. I agreed.. I said it would take a VERY long time.. you and others told me I was wrong... the only timetable I see that YOU put out there was Q2 (which was 12 months away at that point) I said 18-24 months. I've got about 6 more months before I will be wrong on HTML5 adoption as well!
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).

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...

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.

Even still, you had the Hulu app available during that time period for NBC shows.

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.

What's better? I really don't know.

And in any case, there can't be THAT much of a difference between that list and others. Apps and mobile versions abound.

This is ****ing ridiculously incorrect. I take notes for my glasses on Google docs on my iPad. It works VERY well, especially after they optimized it for mobile devices. It worked fine before, though. The spreadsheet was a little slow before, but works fine now.

It IS a non-issue for the top 100 sites (and beyond), due to mobile versions and apps. How is that dead wrong? Show me some kind of concrete proof.

Yeah, because it happened like that. Most of the top sites have a mobile version, and those that don't mostly have apps available and have had for quite some time.

better then Alexa? I honestly don't know either. I'll be honest I haven't tested Google Docs on an iPad in the last 6 months but last time I tried it was GARBAGE Pretty sure THAT didn't hit your Q2 time frame... but I'm glad to hear it's better now.. is it fully functional(can you do drawings and presentations?)
? 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.

I've been using it for about a year on the iPad, so I'd say it did. I don't use Google voice, but my friends do, and I don't hear them complain about it.

No, you're just reading into it what you want to read into it. My contention was that site would offer either a mobile version, HTML5 version or an app. As for the adoption of HTML5, it all depends upon what you consider "a few months." I tend to think of a few months as a lot more than you do, apparently. That and the Q2 were separate conversations.

Google has always been fully functional. And counting YouTube? Are you joking? Also, NBC and Fox aren't in the top 100.

Fair enough on Voice but Docs was GARBAGE on an ipad just a few months back man.

NO ONE can consider "a few months" to = 12+ that's ridiculous. And I'm not "reading into" anything... here was the conversation...

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:

If Fox and NBC aren't in the top 100 than that list and the entire argument is invalid... gimme a break.. 2 of the 5 broadcast networks? Come on son.

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.

To talk about things in an 18 month time frame isn't exactly unheard of. Maybe it's just because I'm getting old, but I also think of a "few weeks" as 16-20. This is all pretty subjective.

Because the point was that you won't have to download an app for EVERY site. And you don't for EVERY SITE. The adoption of HTML5 has borne that out. But there are still apps available and necessary for some sites. Some sites are perfectly accessible on iOS, but still have an app that has increased functionality.

Well, ARE they? Most people use Hulu.

LOL Whatever, man. You have such a hard-on for being right that you refuse to count YouTube as iOS5 compatible, even when you can view YouTube videos natively on the OS, within Safari and other apps, OR use the app? GMAFB.

That's a bit of a stretch man but whatever.

Also a stretch.. you sure you're not a politician? Pretty sure an overwhelming majority of people would read your post and assume you mean that HTML5 would be standard on most if not all sites in "a few months"

Can you watch all YouTube video on an iPad? Simple question. Either way, I'll let ya keep YouTube... it doesn't change the fact that it was pretty clear that you and others said HTML5 was coming fast and furious and DaFace and myself stated that it was gonna take a lot longer than you may think.

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.

Most people would have also read the conversation in context, instead of pulling it out of the conversation and applying it incorrectly.

Are you sure you're not Fox News?

Can you watch all YouTube video on an iPad? Simple question. Either way, I'll let ya keep YouTube... it doesn't change the fact that it was pretty clear that you and others said HTML5 was coming fast and furious and DaFace and myself stated that it was gonna take a lot longer than you may think.
I can watch the overwhelming majority in the YouTube app or Safari. Far in excess of 99%. Perfect? No. Acceptable enough to say that YouTube works well on iOS? Absolutely. And for that small percentage that won't? There's an app for those, too.

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.

As I've said many times before, I don't alter what I view between my iPad and my Win 7 machine. I look at the same exact websites. I have encountered zero issues doing so. You, on the other hand, are in the extreme minority who are so demanding, anything less than perfect is garbage. I rarely have to workaround, but they are there. Like I've said before, it's not perfect, but what Apple does well, it does REALLY well. Certainly well enough that it overshadows a couple of minor inconveniences.
