Companies like Apple and Google are adopting and developing open source solutions in this domain with HTML5 seen as the future of the web but which can take a long time considering the complexity of HTML5’s current working model. There are many advanced effects that are only available in Flash or Silverlight or Java. YouTube has already rolled out use of the video element in HTML5. Other web sites and applications are using Canvas and offline storage. There is a de-facto working subset of HTML5 that is already starting to appear, both on the “desktop Web” as well as the mobile Web.

Also there are thousands of Flash based games, applications (within Facebook/MySpace), video players, website animations, videos, etc. Adobe is set to release Flash 10.1 some time this year, and pretty much every mobile device or mobile operating system maker, including Research in Motion (RIMM), Samsung, Palm (PALM), and Google (GOOG), is prepping their devices for the upgraded Flash.
