Nice - I think this is going to help push Flash out the door. If Vimeo, CNN and some of the other big players are already on board, I have to assume that more niche sites like Revision3 and Mevio have to be coming along as well.

Oh...VERY smart, Apple! Of course all websites will want to be on this list, so if they're not iPad-friendly yet, they soon will be!! (If their webmasters are smart, that is...)

I like how MLB.com has an iPad optimized site. NHL.com, NFL.com, and MLSnet.com should to.
I can't wait till Saturday.

This is HUGE! I'm really stoked on the push, it takes a lot of guts to try and change something this big. And I'm glad to see that when I boot up my iPad saturday that I won't be seeing many blue legos as I thought!

Apple Highlights 'iPad-Ready' Web Content
![]()
As noted by 9 to 5 Mac, Apple has just posted a new page highlighting websites that it considers "iPad-ready" due to their embracing of non-Flash web standards that make them compatible with the forthcoming device.
Like the iPhone and iPod touch, the iPad does not support Adobe's Flash technology, which has served as dominant means for displaying rich Web content. Apple has been pushing content providers to utilize other technologies to display such content, claiming that Flash is buggy and insecure while also crippling battery life for mobile devices.

The page currently features a dozen such major websites, including CNN, The New York Times, Virgin America, and Flickr.

While I like HTML5. Is it really better than flash for video? While I hate flash ad banners, people will just make html5 ad banners soon enough. Did anyone have problems playing youtube flash videos on their macs?
The problem is that the idea behind flash isn't bad (you can create beatiful animations and stuff), but the problem is that it causes many problems on both PCs and Macs and it consumes a lot of energy. So, no, I don't hope flash gets killed. I hope flash will be improved a lot (and than Apple might add it 
).
).
I would just like to say that on my Windows computer, Quicktime is slow and bloated, and I avoid websites (like Apple.com) that don't use flash.
It's a 2-way street Apple, how about you stop being so arrogant.
