Accel’s Rich Wong: Flash isn’t relevant in mobile | VentureBeat

Accel’s Rich Wong: Flash isn’t relevant in mobile | VentureBeat

This article makes me wonder how all those sites that are 100% Flash are going to fare in the future. Although the platform is cool and can make some really eye catching presentations and video, I have to wonder how web developers can pitch Flash to a client when they are going to miss out on millions of iPhone and iPad customers. Not to mention that it's 3/30/2010 and Flash is still nowhere to be found on most Android phones.

My take on the situation with mobile phones and Flash is for developers to migrate everything to an open platform such as HTML5. In the meantime anyone asking for Flash will get a similar lecture but as always the client will get what they desire (Flash Included).
