So, you think companies should develop a different mobile site, a different iPad site, and a Flash site? Wouldn't it all be easier to just have one rich HTML5 site? It isn't an issue of HTML5 being able to do everything that Flash can do. It's a matter of simplifying development. It's the least common denominator problem. -Mike On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 5:07 PM, Damion Hankejh <[address removed]> wrote: > I agree -- this is a personal issue for Steve.?
