Note that this does not mean those organizations' sites won't work on the iPad at all, just that the respondents don't plan to optimize their current site for iPad viewing using compatible video. But 57% said they had no plans to specifically support the iPad.

Twenty-eight percent of the respondents either currently support the iPad with an app or website or plan to support it by the end of 2010, with an additional 10% planning support by the end of 2011. The results were both surprising and compelling. The survey received 1,147 responses from a wide variety of organizations-media/entertainment, enterprise, education, government, and non-profit/worship-and the 41-page survey report looks at the findings in general, while the 722-page appendix breaks the results down by organizational type, revenue, target market (B2B, B2C, or B2Both), and number of deployed video files. The report, Supporting the iPad and HTML5: Timing, Motivations, Costs, and Scope, is based on a survey conducted by and Database Trends and Applications in April 2010. But how many organizations are actually making the necessary changes to make their content ready for Apple's tablet and moving to adapt to the HTML5 Video standard? A new report from contributing editor Jan Ozer separates the hype from the reality. If(v.canPlayType & v.canPlayType('video/mp4').No two topics are hotter in the world of online video right now than the iPad and the HTML5 Video tag. You’d better detect mp4 support (because there is a possibility that Firefox one day start supporting mp4, as happened with Opera), and then serve the video tag or the flash player fallback, as needed. If you want to show html5 video for any browser that does support mp4 video, and play the same video file via flash in browsers that doesn’t support it (firefox), don’t use that code!: Firefox won’t show the flash player. I’m working in a project aimed to offline use, where it’s important to keep the full project weight as small as possible, so I tried a solution based on the code in this post in order to avoid the necessity to load an ogv video file.

I just want to warn that the object fallback inside the video tag just doesn’t work in Firefox. A complete explanation at Kroc Camen’s site, the originator of this technique.
