Only true combat could put the Flash vs HTML5 debate to test! I’m talking about a funny, well made, take on the subject — check the experiment here (you need a browser with Flash plugin and HTML5 support).
All the talk, debate, discussion, battle, (whatever you want to call it) between Adobe and Apple regarding the absence of Flash on the iPhone/iPad seems to sprout some interesting concepts and research in order to make the not-so-possible, possible.
Apple posted a Steve Jobs open letter concerning the lack of Adobe’s Flash in their iPhone OS mobile platform. He argues why Flash is not good for mobile devices but also why, even if flash technology was ok, Apple wouldn’t use it. Doesn’t get more precise and clear than that.
