[Anti-Utopian]

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.

Well, the bottom line for me is I don’t have to worry about it, because Flash is going to go away with time and open standards will be used. I can see that coming.

And I shut off all Flash that I can (on my computer), since it’s always annoying to me. And I figure that anyone who has Flash and if I can’t see what they have, because I have shut off Flash on my computer — then I figure it was never worth seeing in the first place.

That’s my view of it. So, this stuff doesn’t bother me very much in my own personal usage. I’ll let some other people wring their hands about it... :-)

BUT, as I said up above, I’ll still comment on the issue as it’s raised here, from time to time, because others may not know what’s going on with it and Apple.

ask yourself why mouseover is not supported

Because there's no freakin' mouse. It's a convention that doesn't fit a touch-screen interface. You might as well ask why there isn't a rewind button for the punched tape.

or why Java is allowed on there.

It isn't. You might be confusing Java with JavaScript.
