The iPad may not have Flash, but Apple’s looking to follow up on its promise of the “best” web browsing experience ever even without Adobe’s video streaming tech. We’ve already seen partners switching to HTML5 for video on the iPad, and now Apple’s popped up a list of the biggest names for all to see.
Head on over to www.apple.com/ipad/ready-for-ipad and you’ll see a list of some of the world’s biggest media outlets that take advantage of HTML5 video streaming support. Big news agencies and publications such as CNN, Reuters, the New York Times and Time magazine will all offer video on demand on the iPad.

Social media sites are also siding with HTML5 to allow for iPad access to more content. Along with Flickr, which we reported this morning was joining, smart video sharing site Vimeo is present too, so you’ll be able to peep crowd sourced art house clips on the move with the iPad. Apple’s even included a submission button so you can add your own web page to the list of sites with full support for the iPad’s Safari browser.
Apple’s cold war with Adobe over Flash is rapidly heating up: could the iPad usher in a web revolution? We’ll start to get an idea when the iPad goes on sale in the US on Saturday.
