Not any more: they’ve never had Flash on iPhone or iPad, a lot of
Android devices don’t have it, and Adobe have already announced that
they’re going to stop developing it for Android. And I understand
Microsoft won’t allow Flash on Windows 8 on ARM.

That means no Flash on mobiles, and no Flash on tablets. These days,
that’s well over 10% of the market, and more in the future.

Also let's not forget that Google is pushing HTML5 and that means H.264
for now.  H.264 is YAFPC (yet another f***ing proprietary codec).
I have this funny feeling we're entering another phase of the mp3 wars.
