Do I think I am missing part of a richer viewing experience because Flash isn't available on my iPod Touch? I don't think so.
No offense to you, MacArtist - but that thinking is a load of crap.
I don't really care if the web is going to migrate to HTML5 over the next ten years (or less). And my own distaste and hatred for Flash-based websites doesn't matter either.
The fact remains that many websites today are written in Flash. Most of these websites information is contained within the Flash content. This means that the iPhone, iPad and iWhatever are rendered USELESS because of Apple's refusal to implement Flash into the systems.
I can't count the number of times I've punched up a website on my iPhone seeking contact information (or menus or whatever) only to find that it's a Flash site and my Frakking iPhone from Frakking Apple CAN'T handle the material and I'm left without the information that I seek.
I don't care if everyone is using HTML5 in a year or two, I need that information NOW.
