Apple Highlights 'iPad-Ready' Web Content
iPad features Safari, a mobile web browser that supports the latest web standards - including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Here are just a few of the sites that take advantage of these web standards to deliver content that looks and functions beautifully on iPad.
The page currently features a dozen such major websites, including CNN, The New York Times, Virgin America, and Flickr.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.

What happens if you use the iPad Safari browser and go to youtube.com/html5, which opts you into the HTML 5 Beta - does YouTube work, then?

It does work, but you also have the YouTube app.

Youtube w/ HTML5 in Safari does work, tried it in the simulator.
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...)

Apple really are trying to kill Flash. I hope they succeed. Adobe really are the most hopeless software company I've ever come across.

Is HTML5 really a "standard" yet though?
This page is clearly meant to bash Adobe/Flash as EACH entry states (probably unnecessarily the use of html5 video)

Going back to YouTube with HTML5 - are the TV shows out on YouTube available this way?
