The end of Flash?
With the arrival of the iPad and the lack of Flash support also on this device, I’m wondering what the future will be for Adobe’s Flash.
Now that HTML 5 is better supported by newer browsers, proprietary technologies like Flash and Silverlight will become obsolete in favor of standards complient ones. Not to forget that firstmentioned products are both browser plugins, which a technology that causes most of the crashes and security breaches. (You can also thank Adobe Reader for this one).
Interesting times ahead.
