That is exactly why Flash took off for video. Since Flash has a 98% penetration rate on Desktops it means there is a good chance that no matter when OS you're viewer is using they can watch your videos.

I would also like to go on the record and state that Adobe's previous dabbling in the world of Windows Mobile and Flash has been complete garbage and while I don't like Flash I am excited at the prospect of it being ported to WM in full.
