If true, that's not good for anyone, including Apple. why isn't it good?

Flash is ubiquitous, HTML5 not so much. It has a lot more to do with what's deployed versus what's better for the job. -- Paul Miner

It's vapor until it ships. it *has* shipped. anyone who wants it can sign up as a developer and get a beta version. the public release is imminent. but if you want to call it vapor, android 2.2 is also vapor, and even more so. |
