"Flash is at the core of the business model of these web sites" - so basically he's saying it's a good thing to waste battery life on adverts?

It's good to see they're still as focused on the user experience as they always were.

I'm sure the Flash widgets he's demoing have nothing to do with how his battery is close to dead throughout the demo.

Yeah, I just hope you can turn it off. I tried out a HTC Eris a while back and there didn't seem to be any way to turn off Flash.

I know I can't be alone in being super-excited that all those annoying Flash ads for dog food are going to work just fine on my mobile phone too.

It's not like you have to keep Flash turned on just because you can

The elephant in the room is pornography. If people are offered an internet experience with porn and one without, they might just choose the one with. I think this is going to be a bigger factor than is being written of right now for getting Android market share. Mobile Flash is a big deal.

to go back and correct myself: a friend made clear to me that porn sites play video on the iphone already, via a quicktime player that loads up when you click on many videos.
