Neodeist, here's Adobe's take on it -- http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations...t_and_app.html -- the points they make re HTML 5 are valid; it's a mess for cross-browser implementation.

Gary, here's a link to some chip info -- http://theiphonefever.blogspot.com/2...p-replica.html -- the author seems to be very anti-Apple, but has a point. Steve Job's statement that Flash is a 'CPU hog' is clever, as it is only his chip that has a problem. Apple could have gone with a Qualcomm or Motorola CPU, but that would've cost a little more money, and gone against Jobs' business model of using a beautiful user interface to mask performance inadequacies.

I'm curious what actually will come along someday to knock Flash out. Looked at Microsoft's Silverlight, but are there any easy-to-use programs that we could use to make animations? Apple's Motion is a delight, but nobody seems to know that it even exists. So we'll see, but for now, and especially with Android and the new Blackberry, it's Flash all the way, IMHO.
