If you speak to adobe, they'll say no. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
If you speak to apple they'll say yes. |
| 48 |
|

Mobile devices have mostly moved away from flash. Youtube already serves |

html5 videos, if only as a trial: |

|
| 52 |
http://www.youtube.com/html5 |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Unless flash provides something that html5 or other code (e.g. JavaScript, |
| 55 |
CSS, etc.) can't, I think flash is on its slow way out. |
