Alex,
I'm not concerned with the cognitive dissonance in this thread. This is typical in my line of work, where techies argue long and hard for a given cause. Let's wait until Flash 10.1 is introduced in Froyo. Here is a demo from Neowin:

Flash or HTML 5 have a great deal of influence on people who buy e-readers that are capable of internet access. Why not have this extra capability? Why should it be divorced from e-reading features? News is a form of reading/viewing. Anyway, I await the beta and final version releases of Flash 10.1. With a real product, we can then evaluate instead of speculate.
