Whenever I try to view Safari's Welcome page (http://www.apple.com/safari/welcome), which is an HTML5 video, my iPod touch crashes... Also no luck on Vimeo HTML5 video

Safari supports HTML5 so yes.
Not completely true. Yes, Safari on the iPhone/Touch supports HTML 5. But that doesn't mean it can play a video that uses HTML 5. It has to support the codec being used to play it. Right now there are 2 different codecs and there is a war to decide which one should be the standard. AFAIK, the mobile Safari can't play either.
Mobile Safari plays MPEG4/H.264 using HTML5 in Safari, Mobile Safari and what ever you want to call Safari on the iPad. It does not play the OGG version that Firefox does.
.
I can't say much, but I am developing an app for the iPad, and HTML5 works fully. Both Audio and Video players work perfect, as well as other HTML5 features.
Browser not supported
Mozilla Firefox 3.6 here.
That is interesting as I have yet to see a HTML5 example that plays on an iPhone. Clearly the iPhone/iPad can play H.264 but I wasn't aware they updated the HTML5 support to play these videos.
Unfortunately, it is extremely unlikely that the Mozilla Foundation will be at liberty to directly ship a version of Firefox that natively supports H.264 within the next decade or so due to patent restrictions, unless the MPEG LA agrees to an open-source exemption (or something to the same effect) for viewers.Mobile Safari plays MPEG4/H.264 using HTML5 in Safari, Mobile Safari and what ever you want to call Safari on the iPad.

MPEG4/H.264 will probably be the one that wins because its the one the big players are putting there weight behind.
So we could see a fully certified HTML5 compliant version of Microsoft IE 10 that only plays back WMV files.
In the iPad simulator can you run safari? It would be nice to know if embedded html5 videos can auto play, in position, in iPad safari. In iPhone safari it has to be clicked and opens in the iphone media player, which sucks donkey hairs.
html5 is buggy as hell. Internet explorer does not even support it.
Firefox/mozilla version of video play back is totally different than Safari/Chrome/Webkit version. It's not a agreed upon standard at all, much less working great.
Plus Html 5 is just a way to imbed video content into a browser, so were back to figuring out if you have the right format player and the right codecs and installed to even watch any video.
HTML5 can't do half of what flash can do as far as animation, and creating interactive content goes. Plus what's worse there are no tools like "Flash Creative Suite" to even have content creators and designers to even get started on making sites and such in html5.
Right now html5 is garbage with a bright future. But not very usable today.'
Do you people realize how boring the web would be if Flash was never created? It would be a world of static plain text. But I guess some of you like that.

Really? Are you saying the only way to get anything on a Web Page that is not Static Plain Text is with Flash?Do you people realize how boring the web would be if Flash was never created? It would be a world of static plain text. But I guess some of you like that.
