I think the more interesting news is that we might finally see wide flash support for mobile devices.

ughhh i hope not.. flash is an abomination.... if they would rewrite if from the scratch, maybe. But not how it is now.

Flash is pretty far from an abomination. The only thing bad about it is that anyone can use it. Without flash you wouldn't have youtube, hulu, last.fm or any video or music players online other than wmp and quicktime. All technology (especially web) is all about implementation.

Flash can also be decently light weight if you know how to build your apps that way. More recent versions of flash and other languages have put more emphasis on this and should be useful for mobile devices.

so you prefer to watch online videos in WMP or quichtime rather than flash?

flash is much better in this area than any other webplayer: reliable, fast and supported by any pc out there (atom pcs arent pcs, they're a plague, completely underpowered and slower your 3 year old average pc....)

reliable, fast

i dont know what your using, but i doubt its flash.

And yes i prefere embedded players, compared to flash players they deliver better quality with lower resource demand.

btw. be prepared to enjoy DRM in flash sooner then later....
