Many thought developers point of view, the big issue with the lack of Flash is the lack of cross development capabilities. Flash is very popular, and right now, FLEX is one of the hottest programing languages around. I personally have a lot of code I would like to drop onto the iPhone. But right now, I have to go back to the drawing board and use javascript and a framework like Sproutcore. That’s like asking a C++ programming he has to go back to BASIC. It’s degrading.

Ultimately, one must concede that Apple has something up its sleeve. And it was announced at WWDC with the feature list of Snow Leopard. Quicktime X is likely to be more then a video engine. I expect a new platform encompassing much of the features left out in the current restricted frameworks supported by Apple for the Web. It is likely to be very standards friendly and cross platform (Windows, Linux, Apple)

One could even speculate that Snow Leopard is possibly an open version of OXS for any Intel based hardware. A common rumour I like to push and feel would catapult Apple into a position where it really is competing with Microsoft.

With Silverlight platform is starting to making inroads in multi-platform media, they are still struggle to reach the millions of installed based.
