In the Ipad – Free HTML5 shows
According to the Wall Street Journal, APPLE FANBOIS IN THE US will get HTML5-encoded TV for the Ipad.
CBS and ABC are the launch of services they provide to their respective television programs for Ipad. The shows are due to be streamed for free from the same day that Apple launches the Ipad, but punters will be assailed with advertising breaks.
ABC use a streaming application Ipad worked for viewers to see the exhibition. But CBS is on a slightly different route and listen to your content directly by Ipad integrated into the Web browser. This means that it will offer one of the first coded samples HTML5.
The WSJ quoted Neil Ashe, president of CBS Interactive, who said, “We work very hard to make as much available as possible. Over time, it’ll be the same as online.”
So far, NBC has made no announcement.
Apple has not indicated how these movements affect the iTunes store.
Having the three major US networks streaming shows for the Ipad is sure to have a knock-on effect for Apple’s cash revenue from the few people who actually use its Itunes store to buy and download TV episodes.
