Viewing Yahoo! videos on the iPad

Who’s tired of seeing the little blue question mark box where the Flash player usually resides? I know I am – I just want to play video!
We just launched HTML5 video playback for the iPad to take advantage of the devices beautiful screen. Check out Yahoo! News Video (http://news.yahoo.com/video). Other Yahoo! sites will be non-Flash video enabled soon.
What about all of the mobile devices that don’t support flash? No problem.
Even high-end mobile browsers can render a PC experience just as well as a mobile specific experience. Yahoo! recognizes that general video consumers don’t care about technology and just want videos to work across PC, Mobile, or Native Apps. So feel free to browse from your iPhone, Motorola Droid or other high-end mobile phone.

Hi,
Good work! Run smooth on iphone. Is there a way to activate this setup on my laptop? As Flash is high CPU consuming on Macos X it’s nice to get the html player also there…
Thanks

Mobile browsers are still kind of crude if you compare it to the desktop browsers we use on PC.*~”
