And I really haven’t had a problem with flash sites. Usually, I just by-pass them. And more often than not, I leave em a message as to why I went elsewhere.
A month or so ago, I was on a car site. Audi I think. I had seen a car on tv and was curious about the model. Now auto mfgr’s used to do heavy amounts of flash so you could do 360 deg views and such. But this time, I was able to do all that on my iPad. So they have already started to make the transition to HTML5 coding.
Flash is gonna die, and while they won’t say so publicly, I think Adobe knows it as well.
Adobe is slowly, and with only a moderate amount of hype, preparing itself for that future. The Flash application (as distinct from the Flash plug-in) is ideally suited for HTML5 authoring, because most of the world's designers already know how to use it. Photoshop and Acrobat have done pretty well without requiring Adobe client software to view their output, and I'd expect Flash to shake out about the same.
