Can we also say this video tears apart every complain about the iPhone not supporting Flash prior to this demo, given that even if Apple allowed Flash, it would not be until today when Adobe can show something? And it took them how long after the original iPhone to show a working pre-release version? This is the reason why Jobs does not want Flash in the iPhone. He doesn't want his software stack to rely on an unreliable partner. Hulu is rumored to be working on a native app. Apple's "fight" is not so much HTML5 vs Flash, but serving h264 without Flash as the delivery method. People often forget that content is not always delivered the same way in mobile devices and desktops. But for web-based delivery, yes, HTML5 is the preferred choice. | ||

HTML5 is NOT the preferred choice, because it can't do all of the behind the scenes things that Hulu needs to do. It's not simply about delivering video content. It's about protecting it and collecting data. | ||

That is basically a RC, since 10.1 is coming out in a couple weeks. That means it's been working for a while.

It's definitely cool and fun, but it's also a luxury. One of those tablet notebook things pretty much does the same job. I think the iPad is really just a setup for some future technology that will come up in the future. http://xkcd.com/728/ | ||
