...you do realize the iPad can't view a raw video link right? So video via html4 is NOT an option for the ipad.

HAHAHAHAHA.. you know the difference between iPad-ready(a figure that ranges from 26% to 66% depending on the source) and ACTUALLy being seen by an iPad right? Even if you take the incorrect 66% figure as correct for iPad-ready video... you still can't ACTUALLY see it on an ipad. End of story.

Megavideo, Zshare, wisevid, Youku.com, Tudou.com.. (I can name DOZENS more) have good portions of video that is encoded in h.264 (nowhere NEAR even 40%... but enough) Take a guess what percentage of video from those sites is accessible on an iPad.... if you guessed anything other than ZERO, you'd be wrong.

THAT is the current state of things... I could give a crap about ipad-READY video... what's the point if the sites refuse to serve said video... (see Hulu, NBC, Timne Warner)
