The writing's on the wall for Flash, and has been for quite a while if you've been paying attention. It will persist in one form or another for quite a while to come, but sooner or later it's going to go the way of RealPlayer. The only question is how fast that happens.

Google themselves seems to think there's some merit in web apps, given that that's the only thing Chrome OS will run. And have you actually tried the Google Voice web app?

BTW, the timing of the letter is perfect, to try to steal the thunder from Google's big event on the 20th of May, when Android 2.2, meshed with Flash 10.1 is being unveiled.

Umm, if Job's intent was to steal Google's thunder, wouldn't he have waited until a day or two before the event, rather than 3 weeks before? That's an absolute eternity in terms of the news cycle.
