@paulfalgout Errr, Lightroom's competition is not iPhoto, it's Aperture. This is Adobe's core competency. Flash is not (they got Flash from Macromedia). Adobe tends to update their RAW compatibility for new cameras way quicker than Apple.
My above comment was a joke. I was waiting for a response to that comment, but I'll make it here instead:
My point was... Steve Jobs wrote a letter describing his distaste of Flash. Then everyone freaks the fuck out.
There are 100 million Apple devices that can't use Flash... but there are 1 BILLION devices that CAN use Flash. So what is Adobe so worried about?
Adobe says "you can use Dreamweaver for HTML5" and in this article "we can convert your Flash ads to HTML5"
I don't think Adobe has anything to worry about... they are just adapting their products to take advantage of future technology.
Which begs the question... does Adobe believe HTML5 is the future? They are making tools for HTML5 right now... will they ever step aside and let HTML5 take over Flash for video?
@Michael Scrip http://cs5.org/?p=1028 they already have products for HTML5... do they believe its the future? Yes, which is why they have been behind it developing tools and advancing the platform from the beginning
OK...just stop...it seems you have no clue what HTML5 is and how it fits in this context and you're bringing up irrelevant things like photo editing software and...basically you're making me cringe with each post with how little you know but how much you THINK you know. It's embarassing.
I said WHAT IF some other software came along to unseat Photoshop from its throne...
And WHAT IF people stopped using Flash to create ads and video...
I use Photoshop and Dreamweaver every day... and Premiere a few times a week too. (CS3 on Windows)
I'm just hypothesizing a future where Adobe Flash doesn't control 98% of interactive web content... and where $700 Photoshop doesn't rule the industry.
I also said multiple times that this is never gonna happen anyway... so relax...
Following the commercial success (and technical disappointment) of the original Wildfire -- which featured a miserly 528MHz CPU and QVGA display -- HTC has returned with the Wildfire S.

By the way people, Adobe Lightroom 3 is out. :)
@pika2000
Crap... that means my Lightroom 3 Beta just expired too...
Does anyone use Lightroom and like it?
@Michael Scrip
Why do you use lightroom? You just said in a comment above that Adobe's "last reason for existing" was photoshop (which is ridiculous)
Shouldn't you just stick with iphoto?
If you people don't like Adobe's products why not just stop using them?
@Michael Scrip
I like Lightroom (currently on ver 2). Waiting for LR3 reviews now.

@paulfalgout
I use Windows... hence LightRoom...
