I love this. Steve Jobs is a pompous idealistic windbag that needs to stop pushing 5 (or 10) year old hardware onto rabid fans as new and the greatest thing ever. Oh Multitouch! Give me a break. Sure HTML5 is great and I use it for video on my site, but why not support both until all the millions of websites using flash actually convert to HTML5? Android is going to put Flash on phones and that will be a game changer (as if Android isn't already chewing away at the iPhone market). Jobs can be all high and mighty about forcing people to use an unfinished spec that's open, but Android will give you both, and that will matter. Then when everyone knows, uses, and fully supports HTML5 in 10 years, and Flash is dead, they can simply just remove Flash support from Android and be done with it :) </sensationalist_rant>
