Year: 2010

Video search engine MeFeedia (http://blog.mefeedia.com/html5-oct-2010) now says that 54% of web video is now compatible with HTML5, the format beloved by Steve Jobs and preferred by Apple over Flash.

That’s more than double the tally the company had back in May. MeFeedia also found that:

° Flash remains the dominant player within desktop environments.

° Mobile is driving HTML5 video adoption. HTML5 compatible (H.264 mostly) video is the most common format for mobiles (inc. iPhone, iPad and Android).

The white iPhone 4 has been delayed yet again and apparently won’t go on sale before next spring, reports “CNET” (http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/mobile/10/27/white.iphone4.delay.cnet/).

“We’re sorry to disappoint customers waiting for the white iPhone yet again, but we’ve decided to delay its release until this spring,” Apple said in a note.

Another day, another lawsuit. Chinese firm Proview Technology is suing Apple, saying it has the rights to the “iPad” trademark.

According to “Physorg” (http://www.physorg.com/news/2010-10-apple-accused-copyright-infringement-china.html) — quoting a “Beijing News” article — the company says it registered the iPad trademark in January 2000 and still owns the rights to its use in China. Apple started selling its tablet in the country last month.
