    Not so much "Jobs was right", more "Jobs played dirty and won"...

    Personally I'm happy enough if it's HTML5 from here...but people have been saying "Flash is dead" for the 10 years I've been working with it, and I'm getting more of this type of work than ever...

    • if Flash was necessary for a great mobile experience the iPhone would have died, no?monospaced
    • Yeah, I don't think existing Flash stuff was well suited to mobile, so wasn't a deal beaker for the iPhone, just seems clear it was a threat to the App store, as so many of the apps could've been done with Flash, online.SteveZissou

    • Of course it was about the app store, but the iPhone would be better with flash than without.CyBrainX
