Weird. iPad and iPod do support the plugins. I don't understand how you don't get this. You even prove it.
Flash or QT can serve video. HTML4 allows flash or QT. Thus, iPad and iPod can, in fact, view H264 video via QT at the very least.

I have not been defending Flash, I have been attacking a lack of Flash support as a good idea by Apple... BIG DIFFERENCE.

And you've completely proven MY point (technical points aside). Apple's products can use plugins outside of Flash to watch videos. Thus, sites with flash degrading pages and/or QT implementations of videos are available on their products.
That would account for "almost all video" as Jobs says.

And don't comment on VP8.. what the **** is YT support? YouTube? You do realize Google owns YouTube and can convert the entire library over to VP8 in a matter of days, right?

I said currently. Currently, it's basically the software equivalent of vaporware. It has no entrenchment yet. I never said it couldn't or wouldn't. But as it stands now, it has nothing to do with Apple's non-inclusion with Flash, which is what we're talking about.

Ok, I'm done, this has gotten silly, you clearly don't have a clue and at this point you are arguing based on the reality you WANT to exist not the observable one we actually are stuck with.

Is my video H.264? Yes.
Does my video play on an iPod touch? Yes.
Does my video play on an iPad? Yes.
Is my video flash? No.
Flash is important, for video, how?
