That's the benefit of the open web -- there's no one right way to get to and consume all the information that's out there.
Interesting dichotomy though: proponents of an open OS (Android) defending a more closed system (Android) over a more open one (HTML5).

I'm not choosing one over the other, as I stated before with Android you get both. with the "open" system you get that. Unlike Apple which has made the decision for you. .
The fact remains Flash is still the defacto standard for web browsing media playback.
but this still comes back to my origianal response. Apple said Flash was dead, said it was going to die rather quickly. All the iSheep responded by saying "All Hail Lord Steve, if you say it then it must be true, now we will go out and preach the gospel on internet forums and blogs telling the world how Apple and you are God".
well it's still here, it's still the standard and it's still an achilles heel on your iDevices. Every Con : No Flash support.
