Absolutely correct.
The problem here is that you seem to think the only plugin worth a damn is flash. Because you've consistently ignored quicktime as an avenue for Apple's touch products to view h264 content on our internet as it is now. Ie. HTML4

As of right now, Jobs has taken a public stance AGAINST WebM.. so yes, they SHOULD adopt WebM but Jobs' ego may prevent them from doing so in time.

Can you link to this stance?

The huge draw is being able to see the vast majority of video out there... RIGHT NOW an iTouch Senior Citizen Edition can NOT. Big media companies are loathe to move to HTML5 because there is no DRM. Flash or a custom app fills this need for them. If you want to argue FOR a custom app for every video enabled website... that makes more sense (annoying and unsustainable as it may be).

That's what I've been saying DRM is the sticking point here.
However, the iPad can see the vast majority of video out there. I don't know why you keep insisting otherwise.
