There is also the issue of content. Just because you use HTML5, it doesn't mean that all devices will magically be able to use your site. The video you are pushing still needs to be something that the clients can decode. This just avoids the "Steve won't let iPhones run Flash" problem.

"Look, look! HTML5! Come visit our site!
Please?"
