26% of Web Video Is Ready For The iPad
Here’s an interesting stat — 26% of the video on the Web is iPad-ready, according to Mefeedia, a firm that supposedly monitors online video around the Internet. You may think that’s low (that means 74% of the web can’t be seen on the iPad), but that number actually represents a good amount of growth, as just a scant few months ago, only 10% of Web video was iPad-accessible, or encoded in H.264 or HTML 5, not Flash.
Mefeedia also says that most new video is available in HTML 5 — it’s more or less the archives that haven’t been converted over yet. The survey itself encompasses over 30,000 different sources, from partnered sites like Hulu, CBS, and ABC, as well as popular video sites like YouTube and DailyMotion. Mefeedia says it expects to “see a new level of engagement” with online video, and that when that surge of interest comes, it’ll be supported by HTML 5. Adobe probably won’t like hearing that, but then again, they’ve still got a big majority of the video, so we guess it’s up to them to lose it.

I don’t think the iphone supports html5 not the 3gs, it supports mp4, h264 and m4v nothing else thats it. The next iphone will support html5 and im sure thats what apple is giong to pitch in during its showcase of the new iphone, they’re going to say that it uses the new technology and how good it will be blah blah you get the picture.

iPhone Supports html5 from OS 3.0, but Not everything is working.
