Yet, Flash is supported on the reigning mobile superpower OS today, and Adobe still pulls the plug on Flash?
After playing Fieldrunners in HTML5 I'm 100% convinced that there is no longer any place on the web for Flash, except in a backwards compatibility capacity for old content that is no longer maintained (and probably didn't need Flash in the first).
