still can't do flash or silverlight.

no sale for me


You'll see silverlight on iOS as soon as you see iTunes integration on WM7. iOS already has a netflix app which is the only thing of significane I can think silverlight is used on anyways.

Flash, who knows. I don't know how long Adobe can hold out when over 100 million iOS devices are being sold each year.

HTML 5 is where embedded net video is heading and there's no question the surge of iOS devices are speeding that along.

Flash is basically a requirement for sites that choose to exclude themselves from that growing audience; probably not the best decision if traffic is the intended goal of a given site.

What may have sounded foolish ("no Flash?! I refuse to use it!") when iOS debuted is now "site doesn't work on my iOS device? I won't use it!"

"A whopping 63 percent of all videos on the Web are now HTML5-compatible, compared to only 10 percent just a year ago, according to video-sharing site Mefeedia. Instead of relying solely on Flash to display their videos, many more Web sites are adopting video formats that can run directly in HTML5-compatible browsers."
