Adobe is innovating out the wazoo. The Web wouldn’t be shit if it wasn’t for them. Now HTML5 is trying to play catch up and has a long ways to go… and probably will never get there. You still can’t do much in the browser with any degree of reliability unless you use a plugin.
And Apple, yeah, crash and burn you elitist power hungry pricks.
The biggest enemy for HTML5 is not Flash, its the browser. HTML5 will suffer greatly over the next 5 years while it patiently waits for people to upgrade their browsers. Right now the browser share is over 54% of the web population that cannot even utilize HTML5. IE 9 isn’t even out yet. The share of HTML5 capable browsers is still a minority at 38%. It will take years for people to upgrade their browsers. HTML5 will just be too s-l-o-w to the scene.
Kevin Lynch seems confused. Apple is not restricting access to the web on the iPhone, you can access any site on the iPhone that you can with a PC or Mac. If people choose closed tools as development platforms, like Apple’s App Store or Adobe’s Flash, there are going to be limits somewhere.
I like the new forced position Adobe is taking concerning Flash & Air on other devices, I believe it was their goal all along but they were in no hurry as long as Apple would play ball. If it was so easy to port the Flash player over to Android then why wasn’t it a built in feature in CS5 like the tools for the iPhone. They were so willing to get into bed with Apple they forgot who’s condo they were laying in until they got kicked out.

Whatever, everybody’s switching to HTML5. Adobe lost. Apple foresaw the future once again. Flash will soon its doom, just like the Floppy disk.
