I think the real question is wether Flash is a necessity on mobile. I think not. Mobile phone as a medium is not very suitable for web browsing as we know with desktops. However flash's GUI allowed for a larger user base to create more motion rich experiences and push websites away from the conformity of top nav left nav and create better all around experiences. (of course some also really shitty experiences) Red interactive site was dope.... Think somewhere in the hype/marketing/sells people began to think of mobile and desktop experiences as being equal regardless of content or usage. Also the use of templates and open source copy and paste stuff can help pad companies bottom lines and they can charge 65k for skinning a 40 dollar template. Who knows maybe flash was like the 60's and the reniassance of the web and now all we have is facebook social sites and wordpress templates. I'd just like people to get back to making well designed websites and experiences without worrying about wether it works on the smallest shittiest phone.
