  That is because iPads and iPhones (and shortly all other mobile devices) do not have Adobe Flash. Most video sites have both flash and HTML5 video (which works with the iThingies), but apparently TED has not yet done that, or perhaps they have not yet converted all of their videos.

  You are welcome, and yes, Youtube has the different formats and will serve up the correct one depending on the device.
