If tech companies followed the advice of some of you, RealPlayer would still be ubiquitous and blinky text would be a web standard.

Jobs is. That is why I am saying it is a weak argument. he keeps throwing up HTML5 when it is not even that widespread. I don't want to say percentages without really knowing, but I would assume it has to be really small.
I am not saying it is a bad idea, but when your first point against flash is HTML5, it is moot, as it is not even a big factor right now. We all know there is going to an iPad 2.0 by christmas (with camera!), so I just think it is a weak argument, that is what I am saying. I agree with future support, but people are talking about the here and now, and the flash thing is putting off a lot of people.
Me, if there is an app for it, I don't care. Once I heard the Netflix finally came out with an app, it made me kind of want to get one (although I heard it can be sluggish).
