Nice one: If browser supports <video> tag, then it uses that, otherwise applet gets loaded. And I was about to start bitching about how applets usually means large download, but this one is small. Good job.
Having followed this HTML5 debate for a while, including the recent spat between Adobe and Apple over the iPad not including Flash (best summarised as: "Flash is cr*p, eats battery" says Apple, "not true" says Adobe), the sooner we move to HTML5, the better. But of course now we are stuck in a debate over video codecs (again, summary: "Ogg is cool, patent-free, is the future" says Mozilla; "yes, but no decent hardware acceleration, and we've invested lots in MPEG codecs" says Apple, Google; And of course M$ is just trying to figure out how to screw up the entire landscape. Except it no longer has the dominance it once had....)
