Air Video - Stream Video to your iPad / iPhone / iTouch
Do yourself a favor and get this awesome app on the app store. (I think it’s still free) It will encode on the fly too, which is the best feature. There’s a Mac and Windows server, but I did some digging and found an alpha version of a Linux server.

Adlib, The Secret iPad Library?
I don’t know if you have seen the iPad User Guide on your iPad (In your Safari bookmarks). It looks an acts like a native app, but it’s built using html, css and JavaScript. Jim Hoskins has dug into it more. Apple’s library doesn’t have a name, but it’s being called ‘Adlib’.
The iPad User Guide is located here: http://help.apple.com/ipad/mobile/interface/. You can’t normally get at it without changing your UserAgent though. Most browsers have a UserAgent switcher, but you’ll need to use a webkit based browser like Safari or Chrome.
The iPad UserAgent
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B334b Safari/531.21.10
Investigation
I’m a linux user (ubuntu), so I use Chromium for most of my development and testing instead of Safari. I prefer using the dev branch of Chromium, since I can run it alongside my other browsers. (See the next section)
Jim has posted two github gists of the Adlib code: Adlib.js and iPadIntro.js
Note: none of this code has been licensed by Apple.
I leave the rest up to you, since I’m also just now digging around into Adlib myself
Using Chrome
You can use the —user-agent param to supply the iPad UserAgent to chrome.

A 2.5 year old uses an iPad for the first time. We can learn a lot about user interface design and interaction from kids.
