Like the iPhone, the Apple iPad does not support the flash plugin but as they say who cares. Steve Jobs is all up for HTML5.

MacRumors and The Other Mac Blog, reports that CBS.com is testing out the iPad and its compatible playback, well ahead of its April 3 launch. Ok the new video is not working properly yet but it does seem to be based on HTML5.

The Apple iPhone and iPad does not support the Flash plugin, which CBS.com uses for PC-based browsers, HTML5 is going to be very popular indeed because the likes of YouTube are testing out HTML5 as an alternative.

If this all goes according to plan and CBS.com makes it work properly we can see other media giants joining in. For more information please visit TiPB
