I've actually been having this exact discussion about Flash a lot lately, too! I agree that Flash for websites is definitely NOT the future. However, I don't see it going away for video streaming in the next few years. But once HTML5 becomes even more prevalent, it's going to happen for sure... If you decide to write about 'the demise of flash' PLEASE send me a link! I'd love to read about it. Thanks again. Hey Ken,

Thanks so much for the comment! I’ve actually been having this exact discussion about Flash a lot lately, too! I agree that Flash for websites is definitely NOT the future. However, I don’t see it going away for video streaming in the next few years. But once HTML5 becomes even more prevalent, it’s going to happen for sure…

If you decide to write about ‘the demise of flash’ PLEASE send me a link! I’d love to read about it.

Thanks again.

Whenever I have new clients, the subject of Flash comes up and I have to explain to them why, as of a year and a half ago, I stopped designing in Flash. I subscribe to scriptandstyle.com where I never see Flash discussed and have assumed we are in agreement that the future of websites is not in Flash. So I wrote and asked, "do you have any links to this discussion? I have done some searches but would welcome some opinions that you consider reliable. Or if I am misinformed, please correct me." They wrote back "We are not aware of any good discussions of this topic but if you author a post about the topic or find a good existing post please pass it on to us." I am going to forward them this excellent post by you. I would love to hear more of your thoughts on this. Thanks, Ken BTW I was watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siOHh0uzcuY when it struck me that I need to explain "the demise of Flash" to my clients in a way they can understand. I am web designer.

They have such a wide range of products and most are the leading tools for their industry. I think within the next 5 years we will be able to see some impact on Flash, however. In the next 5 years HTML 5 should have a chance to become widely adopted and will prove to be a great alternative to Flash. I think part of the reason Apple has yet to include Flash is because they are all about open standards. I think they would be much more likely to work with HTML 5/Javascript to avoid the need for flash. You can see this on Apple's own website, and in other things they are involved in. It's possible that Flash will come to the iPhone, but Apple has clearly displayed that it's not a priority for them. It's going to have to be the work of Adobe.

How do you think this will effect adobe? Also do you think apple with say that they never included flash on the ipod/touch because they knew about the developments in HTML 5, or maybe that snow leopard is also going to include apps that at hosted online?
