As far as i know (with my limited knowledge, of course) HTML5 is not going to be able to compete with flash in game development anytime soon. Although BrowserQuest was really fascinating. For guys like me, who are beginners, do you think it is a good time to invest in learning flash/flex/actionscript for mobile game development or is there something better?

there is something better, Unity3D. It's available for free so you can start developing, but then you get locked in of course and eventually that means paying for premium features if you want your game to shine.
