Re: [Avid-L2] OT: iPad

Personally, I use to feel the same way but, I now see Adobe struggling
to keep Flash relevant given the direction of web standards. As it is,
SEO begs you to keep as much content out of Flash as possible and now
with HTML 5, you are going to have a tough time justifying Flash for
many of it's current tasks.

Lynda.com works great on the iPhone as does the HTML 5 content on Youtube.
