Attention Artists with Flash Web Sites

There was a time quite recently  that I thought all web sites would use Flash. Not any more. Currently, it really is very safe to have Flash content on a website, but things are changing. Below is a fairly recent graph from the Adobe web site -- so I would not be too quick to believe these figures. With Apple's determination to not include Flash with iPhone/Touch and iPad, a point which will, I believe, prove to be very significant, Flash won't be able to hold into its position as the dominant media player for much longer. If you talk to content providers and graphic designers they will tell you Flash is staring to look like yesterday's technology. And if Apple's iPad, along with its clones have the impact that I expect nobody will want to have a web site that can't be used with these new multi-touch devices.
