Question by Gabe: My iPad isn’t streaming HD YouTube videos?
I have a 16GB WiFi+3G iPad a couple days old. I have tried to watch my favorite music video on youtube and my iPad said “This video format does not currently support iPad”. I know that the video is in HD because I have watched it on my computer before. The problem is that I thought iPad could stream HD videos from YouTube? I know its not just the video because I have tried watching similar videos from the same user; The Gorillaz. Anyway, could someone explain what Apple meant when they said in their videos that I can see HD videos from YouTube? -__- thanks
When I mean YouTube I meant the YouTube app preloaded on my iPad.

Best answer:

Answer by Daniel G
Apple mobile products don’t support Flash and they never will because Steve Jobs had a temper tantrum and doesn’t allow it.

There is a possibility that you can use Youtube’s new HTML5 video player though: http://www.youtube.com/html5

They probably meant you can watch them with an app or something.

Analyst ups Apple iPad unit shipments to 5.75 million for current quarter; 22 million for 2011 http://bit.ly/aEvjvv – by macdailynews (MacDailyNews)

E-book readers and e-books have been hot topics for some time now. In 2009, the market for e-book readers rocketed and one of the most important driving factors was the release of the Amazon Kindle in February of that year. Amazon followed up with the launch of the large format Kindle DX in the summer of 2009 and, in the second half of the year, manufacturers of personal electronics were lining up to release their own e-book readers and secure a share of the emerging market.

It’s a clear indication of just how influential Amazon were – and remain – to the development of the market that almost every new reader announced was instantly christened the “Kindle Killer”. The Kindle reader was, without a doubt, the industry standard that had to be matched and then beaten.

However, there was nothing to suggest that any new reader which would offer serious competition to the Kindle was anywhere in sight. It wasn’t until the launch of the Apple iPad – a very different device – that there was any serious threat to the Kindle’s dominance. Even then, the death of the Kindle as a result of consumers turning to the iPad just doesn’t seem to have materialized. Shortly after the release of the upgraded third generation Kindle in August 2010 Amazon, for the umpteenth time it seems, had sold out of the devices and prospective customers faced a wait of several weeks before their new readers could be shipped.

Of course, the fact that the latest upgrades were accompanied by a further price cut might go some way to explaining the resurgence in the popularity of the Kindle. Amazon’s new Wi-Fi only Kindle was priced at just $ 139. If you consider that the Kindle 2.0 was selling for $ 359 at its February 2009 launch, that’s a very significant price reduction. It takes the Kindle – and e-book readers in general – much nearer to the sub $ 100 impulse buying price range for personal electronic devices. If this was prompted, or possibly hastened, by the release of the iPad is debatable, but ultimately irrelevant. The price reduction would have happened anyway, but there is still a lot of scope for further price cuts – and probably in the not too distant future.

However, whilst Amazon and Apple may be enjoying a good deal of success, the same cannot be said for other e-book reader manufacturers. Several planned e-book readers have either been postponed or cancelled all together. The Plastic Logic Que reader, for example, is pretty well dead in the water. The well established Dutch company Irex went bankrupt when they ran out of cash following poor US sales returns for their Irex reader. Sprint and Hearst’s planned Skiff has been cancelled.

Are we heading towards a polarised market with Amazon dominating the low cost “pure” e-book reader sector and Apple cleaning up in the more expensive tablet computer that sometimes serves as an e-book reader market? There’s a large gap in the prices of the Kindle and the iPad. Is there sufficient space between the two devices, in terms of both specification and price levels, to allow new players to enter the market?

Recently Amazon advised that sales of Kindle books have overtaken the sales of hard cover books. It seems highly probable that e-book sales will catch up with and eventually overtake paperback sales – and probably in the not too distant future. It looks like e-books may well be the future of reading, but just what type of device will you choose to read them on?

• Another Way to Look at the iPad vs. Kindle Debate (pogue.blogs.nytimes.com)

So you are the proud owner of an iPad and now you want to download ibooks off the internet? It’s possible. Yes, there are solutions available which enable anyone to download countless numbers of eBooks for the iPad. Most people get the iPad, because of the ability to download apps, software, games, movies, and ibooks off the net. The apps are specifically made to work on the iPad. Of course most of these apps will work on Iphone and Ipod Touch as well, but not on a regular computer. You will find apps in almost any category such as sports, entertainment, business, and education. An app for almost anything you can think of has been designed by Apple or third-party developers. No matter your desire, there’s an app for that.

One of the most popular apps is the ebook reader known as ibooks. The dimensions of the iPad screen is ideal for reading; there isn’t any squinting necessary to view words displayed on this reader. The majority of the technical elements in relation to the readability of the material can be fine-tuned including its brightness, text specifications, font, together with background. Your background light can be dimmed in line with the user’s preference and this is especially great for reading after dark because nocturnal reading will become intolerable if your screen is just too bright.

You can also alter typeface styles and text size to suit your own requirements. It is hard to believe, but tastes differ completely when it comes to typeface desgins. If you plan to ready lengthy ibooks, you will love the ability to adjust text.

Another important feature of the ibooks app is the iBookstore.. Right above the bookshelf, in the upper left hand corner is a store button. If you want to go to the iBookstore, just click on the button. You will be able to browse through a library of hundreds of ibooks and you will surely find something you would like to read. Once you have purchased the ibook, it will appear on your bookshelf. You can either read it right then, or come back later.

The only downside of the iBookstore is that it is pretty expensive. You will have to pay up to $12 for one book. The good news is that alternative iPad ibook download services are appearing on the internet, which offer ibooks at a much lower price.

The Apple iPad is just a great device. You can ask any Ipad owner. Everyone will tell you that they simply love it. It is simply the best way to view the web, photos and email. One of the greatest functionalities is reading books. By using the touch screen you can turn the page as if it was a real book. This is pretty amazing.

The video experience on the iPad is also great. Now you can watch your favorite movie on the go in DVD quality. Of course you will need a long battery life to take advantage of all the functions offered. No need to worry, the Ipad offers hours upon hours of use. Apple indeed invented an amazing new gadget.

Of course you will have to have the option of downloading content to your Ipad. But Apple took care of this as well.. The Apple store is well known. The problem is that the store is very expensive. If you want to download a book you will have to pay up to $12. Without a doubt this is too much for most people. Fortunately, there are better deals out there.

When the iPad was released people started to realize that consumers wanted a place to get great content for the right price. This is why soon after the release of Apple’s new computer Ipad download sites started to show up on the net. These sites only require a one time payment and after that you may download as many books, comics, and newspapers as you want for the rest of your life. This is a great deal. All kinds of great content is available on these sites, including iPad books. By taking advantage of one of these unlimited Ipad download sites, consumers no longer have to worry to spend too much money at the Apple store.

With the arrival of these sites that offered a one time fee for unlimited downloads came free sites. It seems people wanted to cut corners and get things for free instead of paying a small one time fee. Doing things the free route isn’t all that it is made to seem. These so-called free sites offer content that will infect your iPad with trojans, worms, and viruses. That’s the last thing that you need when you are just trying to get some nice applications or iPad books on to your device.

This is why it is highly recommended to stay away from free sites and instead join a website offering unlimited Ipad downloads for a onetime fee. This is a better option than paying and arm and a leg at the Apple store. It is also better than ending up with a rather expensive paper weight, which your iPad might become if you go to a virus filled free site.
