Good post from Apple about preparing content for the iPad in particular (but is good to keep in mind for most smartphones and touch-based-devices:

Preparing Your Web Content for iPad

I always spend a few hours working on sprucing things up for the iPhone, at least, and hopefully soon I'll be able to test on an iPad as well :-)

The big gotcha is HTML5 video. There is a cool player called SublimeVideo from Jilion, but IE support is nil, without the Chrome frame installed. FF, Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc. work great, though. Perhaps we'll get a good solution where the site falls back to flash if using IE 6, 7 or 8.

For now, though, I make sure everything besides Flash works well on the iPhone/iPad OS.

Advancing the faith.

video players (html5 vs flash)

I have used the JW Player from Longtail Video (http://www.longtailvideo.com/)  -- it checks the browser and then sends either flash or html5 depending.

peace,
