You were saying ...

Hardly anybody wants to develop Flash for touch or pen applications, because it is such a puny market.

Well, one thing is for sure, with 100 million devices out there, that aren't going to use Flash -- but with the owners of those 100 million devices (the iPhone, the iPod Touch and the iPad) being higher-paying customers for services and goods (and they are) -- you're gonna find webmeisters and owners of companies (selling goods and/or services) accommodating those 100 million users real quick, on their websites ... :-)

I assume most front-end business who believe a there is a market share from Apple-users have already developed "storefront" apps or "iVersion" of their sites for iWhatevers. But as far as content providers, advertisers, free game portals, and so on, no, the web will continue to be 1) Flash-Based and 2) Mouse-Based for quite some time.

And if you still think buggy code is why Flash was exiled, ask yourself why mouseover is not supported, or why Java is allowed on there.
