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.

Quicktime X is no Flash competitor yet
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.

Interactive Supremacy between Flash and Silverlight
Is Silverlight a worthy competitor? Maybe in future but not so soon.
Silverlight is Microsoft’s foray into building interactive Rich Internet Applications. Microsoft has been pushing hard at getting the developer community, adopt this new framework but faces stiff competition from Adobe Flash and Flex which have a huge developer base.
Having said that, the Silverlight website showcases some amazing applications that are powered by this new framework. Analysts believe a new mobile version will be out soon which will make it a stronger competitor to the existing Flash Lite framework.
Microsoft has released browser plugins for Windows and OS X but it’s not a surprise that Linux was left out, as usual. Here’s where Moonlight comes in for the Linux world..
Building on the Mono Project’s Linux implementation of the dot Net framework, Moonlight aims to provide both a Linux SDK to build Silverlight apps and a stand-alone Silverlight runtime.

Silverlight move on portable framework
Adobe, Inc plans to make Flashlite to be the most used application among all the mobile devices available. They’ll be giving out their coding secrets and licensing revenue so that their official software for designing Flash application sales will increase. Many of the big company will be involved in the project except for Sun (Java system) and Microsoft (making the Flashlite competitor that is the Siverlight).
David Wadwhani (Adobe’s spokesman) claims that the mobile devices which is connected to the internet is astonishing that is 5 times the as there are traditional computers. This will make it easier for the developers to produce games, movies, software and etc. The main purpose is to close the gap between mobile web and desktop computing.
Based on the earliest concept, Adobe was making many restriction on the use of its Flash technology in mobile devices. The limitation made the developers harder to produce more interactive and unique content for the mobile devices, so that this will differentiate between mobile internet and computer-based web.
