    Thought this was interesting, from Adobe's blog post

    “We will continue to leverage our experience with Flash to accelerate our work with the W3C and WebKit to bring similar capabilities to HTML5 as quickly as possible...and, we will design new features in Flash for a smooth transition to HTML5 as the standards evolve so developers can confidently invest knowing their skills will continue to be leveraged.”

    "for a smooth transition to HTML5"

    I think people are being short-sighted saying Flash will be around forever and ever. Adobe is talking about desktop Flash here, and making the transition to a standards-based approach. If you read between the lines, Adobe seems to be saying they are eventually leaving Flash behind altogether.

    • You could guess a lot of scenarios from that paragraph. I for one, feel somewhat comforted by the tone of it.CyBrainX
