this guy brings up a valid question. if ads shift to being done in html5 + jsImagine the chaos in your ads/pages when CSS class names or element IDs conflict, or your Javascript calls an element that has the same name as one in your page/ad. The only solution will be to disable the very thing that it’s built with. So, go ahead, turn off Javascript
i edited some of the smarmyness you can read that in the link at the top

think of how much data would be used to download flash content on a mobile device... hence why I think it'll never go mobile
- this makes no sense. optimization is a huge part of any flash devs job. most things i build are < 200KB landing pages 20-30 KB loader.kingsteven
- (with a 20KB loader) Even the QBN homepage is 250K. If you're talking advertising, video embeds etc. It's more of a performance issue.kingsteven
- performance issue, but we'll have 1Ghz 4G iPhones by the end of the year, that will be (faster at browsing than most desktops).kingsteven

Flash AND html 5: now one money-making project of yours can be made into two.

There was lots of talking about how iPhone's lack of Flash was going to suck. This came only from people who never owned an iPhone and did not stop millions from getting at least one each.
I own one (two and an iPod Touch actually) and as much as I love Flash, I never found the iPhone lacking support for it to be a problem.
I'm not a prophet, but I feel that Flash, the better player (pun intended), is going away the way of Betamax.
HTML5 is here and it can do half of the things Flash could do in 1999. It's laughable compared to modern Flash, but something tells me it will win.

From the Washington Post:
"Adobe: Flash Apps Will Run On The iPad, Even Full Screen At Some Point"

they need some site-by-site safari/ flash approval. sometimes i wonder if it's a coincidence that the "technology company" that runs the largest online music store in the world, limits the use of the player technology used by every indie record store.
just let the consumer decide? if it's a buggy mess that crashes my iphone every 5 minutes I'll probably turn it off my self?
- the consumer would decide by returning the iphone, not turning flash off.ephix

First Flash will go on its way out, then Browsers and HTML.
