Interesting article from Glenn Fleishman on Flash and the iPhone. Of particular interest is his point that Flash is unavailable on many other smartphone platforms and yet Adobe only loudly complains about the iPhone. It’s a good read.
The New York Times has a good piece on why the iPad doesn’t have flash
Numerous developers and executives that I interviewed for my story said there was a trend toward offering users an alternative to Flash video, the predominant video standard online, in the form of HTML5, an open standard.
Senior-level managers from many of the top video sites online, including YouTube, Vimeo, Blip.tv and Flickr, all agreed that video online is starting to splinter, and as some test out HTML5 for video distribution, many will begin offering both formats as the iPad makes its way onto the market.
