HTML5 vs Flash 10.1 on the Nexus One, and the iMac.

And all you people jumping on the HTML5 bandwagon saying "flash sucks" etc -- consider this..the iPad isn't going to be the next-best-thing forever. Pretty soon there will be _tons_ of tablets running more capable OS's that of course will support flash.

Also consider the Open Screen Project and all of Adobe's partners (Google, Nokia, HTC, Palm, Motorola -- list goes on..). Apple is like the ONLY one who refuses to allow flash on their devices...that right there should tell you something.

The bottom line is that it has nothing to do with what technology is "better" and it has everything to do with Apple's restrictions and closed nature as a company. Like Google says..."don't be evil" but that is exactly what they are, and they were that way from day one when they stole Xerox's entire IP lineup and slaped it on the first "mac"]]>Apr 2nd 2010 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/screw html... this makes me want to play quake 2 again...

I'm sorry kids .. but IMHO flash was already sucky well b4 HTML5
all my Macs go into overdrive when i watch some Flash clip on the Tube or elsewhere (wink wink)...

I don't wanna fry my hunky legs when i watch something on my notebook and attract cannibals ..

No No i am all for less Flash and more open standards ..

Now back down from my soapbox and back to my cross :-))

Oh right. I guess they'll just have to content themselves with the 95% of tech users who don't use Apple products that don't run Flash then.

I'm sure they're devastated.]]>Apr 2nd 2010 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/Apr 2nd 2010 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/Apr 2nd 2010 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/Wha?

And of course all the other sites that you didn't mention that use Flash and not HTML 5. Like the BBC and others.

Please. It's a silly argument - enjoy your devices but for the love of god stop defending their limitations to people who can see through the weakness in your argument.]]>Apr 2nd 2010 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/

Not a lack of multitasking, or a tightly controlled user experience. It's Flash. I'm sick of visiting websites like Engadget and Joystiq that embed Flash players and having to wait till I get home to view the video. I could try to view it with the sad YouTube viewer, but do5 get me started on that worthless garbage. The video is so compressed it literally hurts my eyes.

Having said all that, I support the HTML5 movement, and I have to admit that Apple is going to have a large hand in it. They already have a large hand in it. It's fairly obvious that this boom of HTML5 is due to Apple's lack of Flash support, and the launch of a new device that is great as a video player. At this point, while I still want Flash on my phone (or in this case, I'd want it on my slate if I had one), I guess I can't fault Apple for doing what they are doing. I really think the launch of the iPad is a very big even for HTML5 just from the past week or so.

And if the situation changes, and enough sites move over to HTML5 quickly enough so I can view the majority of video content I come across in my iPhone browser, maybe I'll stick with Apple instead of migrating to Android or something that supports Flash 10.1. ]]>Apr 2nd 2010 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/Apr 2nd 2010 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/
I agree. It's important to note that HTML 5 has a long way to go before its accepted as a standard in terms of usage - the whole issue of codecs and associated licensing needs to be resolved for one thing.

However, it's a welcome development - Flash is an example of what happens when a company becomes too dominant and if nothing else the rise of HTML 5, Silverlight and others are making them up their game.

However, it's not the finished article just now and the web is still geared towards Flash. This may change with time but anyone claiming Flash is dead is either a fool or someone who doesn't really know what they're talking about.]]>Apr 2nd 2010 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/quake-ii-gwt-port-proves-html5-isnt-just-for-video/

There are GPL encoders and decoders for H.264, and it's currently free until at least 2015.
