not necessarily always. you can already do youtube with html5. definitely won't go away overnight, but at some point, sites will change to what gives them the widest audience. especially with smartphones and tablets becoming so popular, everyone will want to have their content on as many devices as possible. if flash isn't in that discussion, sites will move away from it.

 

Oh, so apple doesn't support "now" and only supports "in the future"? Cool. I'll take my Android and live in the now.

 

or, apple was ahead of it's time. or, apple caused a market shift away from flash.

i don't know, i don't have an iphone, and i don't think i've ever used flash on my phone.

 

We just keep winning.

I love the hate. My first Apple was an Apple IIe.

Thanks for posting this, Drew! :hi5:

No, that's just what apple fan boys will try to push.
"Flash is gone because of apple!" "I want to suck Steve Jobs ghostly cac", ect, ect.

Flash has been a going away since the big flash boom a few years back when EVERY website jumped on the CODEMYENTIRESITEINFLASHANDATTACKYOUREYEBALLS flash hype. HTML5 isn't new. I think the general consensus was that it is going to replace flash and java in due time. This isn't anything to get excited about. The fact is, android does and always will support flash, even if there isn't updates for it any more. There will always be things that can be done in flash that don't work just right in html5 or java.

 

No idea what any of this means :dunno:

 

HTML5 was destined to win, there were so many more advantages to its streamlined coding as opposed to Flash's bulky code. The only reason it took this long to finally settle was that Adobe and MS kept throwing money at the argument along with gaming programmers who didn't want to adjust to a "new" platform even though it would mean faster load times and the ability to put more actual gameplay to current disc storage capacity.

It was always a moronic argument in the end.
