While I don't appreciate much of what Apple is doing these days, surely one has to also appreciate the draconian, closed nature of Flash? At least HTML5 is some kind of standard. Now, if we could just get Apple on the Ogg train...

You know what is draconian? removing a programming environment for children from the App store.

[olsonjeffery]

Yeah.. not to pick nits.. but the removal of Scratch was the removal of a Scratch player, not an actual programming environment itself..

.. I for one would love to see a Scratch development env on the current/next gen of mobile devices, though.

Your point stands, though.

[powellc]

Haha. Touche, sir. Apple is certainly draconian, but Adobe is no saint I guess was my point. Flash and HTML5 are competing technologies, and one is an open format.

... and the other, in Apple's implementation at least, uses H.264.
