In some ways the content of this post is related to the recent Flash / Mobile snafu. Specifically because Adobe have made a big point of throwing their weight behind HTML5 in place of Flash on mobile platforms. This post is derived in part from personal experience and in part from a lively (and occasionally heated) debate with a colleague. In short it deals with my concerns over the dropping Flash support in favour of HTML5 and the common perception that anything Flash can do HTML5 can do (better).
Why HTML5 isn’t a replacement for Flash (and isn’t likely to be any time soon)
