If a direct video link works in an iTouch Senior Citizen Edition it's because Apple wrote hooks into the browser to detect and play video.. do you have any idea what a massive security hole this open up??? Either way, it is not served as video by html4, it is a "dumb" file download on html4 that Apple may compensate for with browser/OS hooks. regardless, it's a moot point because the files are NOT being served that way... nor does even Apple expect that.. which is why they keep lying about html5 support being here already in a viable way.

At least you corrected your mistake in the next post, which was the exact mistake I was pointing out.

Again, let's stick to NOW... Apple does not support it now.. no one knows what they will do eventually.

Correct, they don't support it now. But honestly it just got opened up 2 weeks ago.

Here is where your ignorance of the subject truly shines through. Get yourself an iTouch Senior Citizen Edition and go to any of those sites... YOU CAN NOT WATCH THEIR VIDEOS. PERIOD. YOU GET A BIG BLUE BLOCK WITH A QUESTION MARK ON IT! Those sites use different plugins (Flash, Divx, etc) that are not supported by the iTouch Senior Citizen Edition... you simply CAN NOT watch video on those sites from an iTouch Senior Citizen Edition. please show me how you can watch video from those sites...

And, of course, those sites = majority of the video on the web.
I think Silock is right. You are the master of hyperbole and I keep biting on your inane hyperboles because they're incorrect.

They are refusing by the fact that they are NOT doing it and haven't announced any plans to do so.

Right, the iPad has been out for 3 months and because they haven't converted all their video, they're just flat out refusing to. Jiminy.
Then you have Scribd who just dumped flash completely and is going HTML5.

Let's keep it simple... if you have an iTouch Senior Citizen Edition in front of you right now... you can NOT watch a majority of video online or even close to it. The figure is less then 25%.. my best guess is 10% (mostly due to some html5 video adoption by youtube)

That's why there's sooooooo much complaining on online video watching from iPad owners. Soooooooo much.
