I've read because of the iPad and Apple's "No Flash" stance, that Flash using sites are developing non-flash alternatives for it.  I've read that this is happening quite rapidly with everyone in a panic because they don't want to loose the business.  Ah!  Don't you just love capitalism.

Besides, choice is good.
