If the entire web doesn't have adoption of HTML5 then it doesn't matter if mobile browsing is 99% iOS. NOW do you see the point? HTML5 DID NOT GET ADOPTED LIKE THE APPLE FANBOIS SAID IT WOULD. It will eventually, I said that... it's just slow going.

If one is growing, and the other is shrinking, how is it not moving forward, even if the split is currently 50/50? Adobe is moving to HTML5. Internet Explorer won't support Flash, and will use HTML5. Google is moving away from Flash to HTML5. One is in the ascendancy, the other is not. So, how did it not get adopted? The major sites are HTML5 compatible, and the list is continually growing. Facebook is committed to HTML5 because of the mobile marketshare. Hell, I watched the US Open streaming in Safari on my iPad a few months ago. HTML5 adoption is fine.

Do we need to drag up all the old posts? I don't recall if it was you but PLENTY of people touted HTML5 and how it would render Flash obsolete... and they were saying it 18+ months ago. Do you deny that? THEY WERE WRONG! PERIOD! You can't place a bet on the Chiefs winning next week and then when they finally win 4 weeks from now claim it as being right.

Do it. No one said it would die immediately. I JUST said that, but you ignored it.

I have said all along that HTML5 will replace Flash.. the argument was over timing... now that it's a YEAR AND HALF LATER.. I think I was proven right.

LOL Whatever, man.

Find where I once denied Flash would someday go away?

Don't twist my words. I never said that, specifically.

I don't find the Touchpad to be underpowered... but I'll concede that point if you'll stay on topic.

You're the one that brought it up.

I'm seriously disappointed.. you are normally far smarter than this.. your last post was borderline moronic.

Ah, yes, I was wondering when we'd get to the ad hominem phase of the discussion. Instead of calling it moronic or other extremely clever names, why don't you try and rationally discuss it?

Oh and one last thing... we must be VERY different web users because I use Flash on my phone or tablet almost EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I am the 99%.

I would posit that you have dumbed down and limited your browsing because of iOS.

I would posit that you don't what the **** you're talking about.
