iPad Goes Old School

The new Apple iPad doesn’t support Flash or other Web plug-ins. It simply supports HTML5 and other open standards, bringing us back home to some old school fundamentals. Just like viewing websites on an iPhone or Blackberry using an internet connection, if your code is semantic, clean and uses progressive enhancement, it will naturally display pretty well. You still have to test, of course…and you can always do more with a custom mobile template…but it is a solid foundation.

There is a lot of press about how this might be a bad product sales move for Apple because it does automatically eliminate many existing websites from displaying on the iPad. The HTML5 video tag also is still under development since the video codec is not natively supported in all browsers.

As for myself, since I continue to manually code my work instead of relying on WYSIWYG tools, I enjoy following the latest standards and incorporating the new advances into our ever-expanding best-practices. If you are curious about how ready your site is for iPad, check out the iPad development standards,  I know I will be…and upgrading my sites along with CSS3. Happy geeking!
