A well written article that does a good job of examining all sides. Although, understandably, it's not clearly explained that Flash is a proprietary format that has different levels of performance based on the OS running it.

Flash is the best solution for web video at the moment but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be working toward something better. Hopefully if Google opens up the O2 video license we can get some consensus for HTML5 video and really move forward on replacing Flash as the de-facto video standard.
