    Which is better implemented?

    And anyway, I think that's besides mehmet22's point.
    If I understand correctly, Steve Jobs basically said: "flash was designed to be used with a mouse. New devices (mobiles) don't have mice, therefore flash is bad and will force developers to recode their sites to work in mobiles....so, you better use open standards like html5 and everything is magically fixed"...and the video shows that no, using html 5 doesn't mean everything works for the ipad automatically. If you want to make a site work on a mouseless device, then you need to design for a mouseless device...it's not flash issue, it's a design issue.

    Flash is not good or bad, or worse or better than html 5. It's just a tool, and it depends on how you use it to make a site successful. The recent Steve Job's rant was full of lies, and minimized the useful use of flash to just watching videos.
