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.

The new docomo 906i phones are in stores this week. flashlite 3, and a new feature for allowing flashlite to be viewed inside your email client. This is called “decome anime”. (japanese demo)

Viewing flash content right inside the mailer is going to lead to a boom in viral flash content I think, and flash will be a communications platform as much as an animation playback engine.

David Collie from pickle company have a test and loving it especially very fast animation playback and some nice keyboard shortcuts.

thanks Scott and David.

From the [www.technewsworld.com] they got some interesting debate among Flash ( FlashLite ) and Silverlight evangelist whether they should start considering to embrace the new platform Silverlight. Not everyone is equally excited, though. Devoted Adobe users like Noel Green, creative director of Park East, is one of many with no plans to leave Flash behind.

“Flash just works,” Green added, citing its ability to function flawlessly on any computer and deliver a consistent display across various browser platforms.
