  the lack of Flash support would be a significant problem. I don't understand the conflict between Apple and Adobe. Clarification, anyone?

  somebody comes up with a solution for what seems to me to be a stupid situation.

  the problem is that Adobe and Apple are at each other's throats over mobile platforms. Adobe hates mobility and Apple is control-freakish.

  Apple isnt the only one in Adobe's sights. It's so bad that MS built SilverLight, and Google is...working on it.

  meanwhile video providers scramble to find or build fast transcoders for mobile playback. interface designers wait patiently.
