I'm sure if the stats of iPad users are high enough these sites will all have to think very hard about using HTML5 for video streaming.

The current situation, for me like Harry, is that some key websites that I use a lot will be missing content on the iPad's initial release: the BBC and other news sites will lack video, and my paid subscription to TennisTV won't work.
It is simply rubbish to claim that the iPad offers "
the best way to experience the web". Really? With the bits I paid for missing?
Yes, we can hope that either flash support is added in the future or that all those web sites embrace the fledgling HTML 5. But waiting for that is a bit beside the point when competing tablets that do support flash are likely to be available a lot sooner.
