"Apple iPhone, iPad doesn't have flash? Who cares! HTML5 is superior!" Well...

2 things. The iPhone and its "closed" OS has been dominating its market for 3 years, so there goes one of your theories. Second, several companies have already finished and will soon be using emulators that convert flash video to h.264 or some other useable codec when it detects an iPad. Nice try though :)

Wow... 2 things...

1) Anyone can dominate before the real competition gets there. Android is quickly closing that gap (which it couldn't do if the iPhone OS wasn't such a closed system).

2) Flash is a coding language (commonly used for games and video playback). It isn't a codec, and you cannot convert a flash game into a codec.

According to this... symbian is still dominating the market, not apple. :cool:

To follow up with this...

source: Android Shakes Up U.S. Smartphone Market | Business Wire

The Android operating system (OS) continued to shake up the U.S. mobile phone market in the first quarter (Q1) of 2010, moving past Apple to take the number-two position among smartphone operating systems, according to The NPD Group, a leading market research company. NPD’s wireless market research reveals that based on unit sales to consumers last quarter the Android operating system moved into second position at 28 percent behind RIM’s OS (36 percent) and ahead of Apple’s OS (21 percent).

That is... the IPHONE is NOT the market leader in the USA and it is NOT the market leader worldwide.
