I have been reading an awful lot in regards to the seeming end of Flash use around the internet for video and general use. Apple and Adobe doesn’t see eye to eye on the matter. Whether it’s around the money generated by the iTunes Store, battery life, the lack of a mouse on an iPhone/Touch/iPad, etc. I have seen a great amount of astounding technology lately. In the form of javascript. Yes, javascript.
There are many engines out there (JQuery, Spry, Yahoo, etc.) that perform magic without using Flash to produce some fairly astounding results. Sometimes you need to right-click on a page to make sure you know what you’re seeing.
Yes, I think this is a great thing. The web is a new location for applications.
