Maybe not, but the guy had the balls to stand up in front of the world and announce that he was calling it the iPad FFS. Somehow I don't see him backing down on this.
So you have Apple's openly declared, direct hostility to Flash and boosting of HTML5. Google has stated that their future plans for building a web-based OS rely heavily on extending the capabilities of HTML5. Microsoft has Silverlight, which I doubt is going anywhere but it could easily have the effect of hastening Flash's demise.
The best thing Flash has going for it is market saturation. But I don't see how it can survive in the long term in an environment where all three of the companies that control how people access computing are actively making plans to move off it.
