I'm also not sure I want a lot of Flash on mobile devices. Flash is way overused on normal Web sites, and I don't want to see that happen while mobile.

IMHO, Flash should be used for three things -- animations (like South Park), games and product demos. Developers who use it for user interfaces should be castrated to prevent polluting the gene pool. Aliph's Jawbone site and Coca Cola were like that, but seem to have seen the light and use more standard HTML now.

I'm not even sure why Flash video took off when there were already lots of video solutions out there (Real, Windows Media, etc.). Was it just because the Flash player had such high penetration on PCs?
