Life without Flash

Preparing for life without Flash . . .

Posted by Karan Israni On May 22, 2010 1 COMMENT

About 75% of the total video content on the web is based on Flash, yet we are preparing ourselves for life without Flash!

According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), more and more developers are giving up Flash because clients want their sites to run on Apple's revolutionary product iPad and also on the all time Apple favorite - the iPhone. And with the emergence of HTML 5, things are really not looking bright for Adobe.

"Since the iPad came out we've had a lot of clients say that they just don't want Flash on their sites," Chantelle Simoes, vice president at Ninth Degree Inc., told the WSJ.

To sum up, majority of the clients today are starting to look for alternatives to Flash as Apple remains stubborn to not allow Flash in it's devices, and clients are adamant they'd rather feature on Apple devices than use Flash. In fact, Sports Illustrated says it is looking to use technologies which work on the widest number of devices!
