#2I would enable HTML5 in Youtube if it had feature parity with Flash. Not having a fullscreen option when embedded is what kills it for me.

#3I feel like this post has a bit of a strangely recursive backstory (as he explains along the way): he was helped by people from Youtube and Google to get hardware running Google operating systems so he could test their battery life while using a Google web browser to watch Youtube, a Google site, and the punchline is that you the user should flip a toggle in your Google/Youtube account.

#4Does anyone know if either of these platforms support hardware accelerated H.264 decoding? And, do either HTML5 or Flash in these environments support using it?

#5Anyone know if that Android tablet has H264 hardware-assisted decoding onboard? If it does, then the myth that H264 was more efficient for power use is basically busted.

I think HTML5 video can do fullscreen even in embeds, but you have to explicitly enable it on the iframe when you embed the video. By default HTML5 content in iframes can't go fullscreen unless you set the attribute on the iframe (Flash ignores this, of course)

That's not an Android tablet - it's a Samsung Series 5 Chromebook. It'd be interesting to see what the results were like across different operating systems.

Oops - not entirely sure how I missed the tablet - completely blanked it when I read that page. Sorry!

The yundao n90 sports a rockchip RK2918 chip. It's the first chip from rockchip that is able to decode vp8 in hardware [1] (and obviously it decode h264 in hw too).
The myth "there is no VP8 hw decoding available" is busted.

#10Why is youtube not using vp6 by default ? this baffles me. it is a advertising problem ?
