still be in Flash. So even devices carrying H264 hardware decoders won't
be able to access the content as it's obscured by flash, despite the
relative ease of providing an <object "path/to/h264">.
Oh and the statement "evryone[sic] already had Flash installed" is
entirely untrue. Even more so today, anyone up to date with the latest
industry developments would have noticed a few new laptops
(sub-notebooks?) running non x86 CPUs. I can't find any Flash player
available for these platform so the claims these users already have
Flash installed is complete rubbish. What's the BBC doing for these people?
