You’ve probably been hearing a lot lately about how Flash is a dying technology and how it’ll soon be replaced by HTML5. Personally, I think that it will slowly replace Flash for some things, but Flash will always have a place, especially for developing complex games and rich internet applications. If you’ve yet to see what HTML5 can do, I’ve rounded up 10 demos that show off some of its capabilities.
So what do you think – will HTML5 replace Flash?
This is 20.000 particules running in Flash: http://wonderfl.net/c/rbeg/ – your 1500-low-framerate-demo is cute, as well as the other demos. And I would have seriously consider that in 2001. Thanks for sharing!
Just checked out your demo on my iPad, looks great!
Flash 10 works great on Android and other tablets, if Flash is so bad why not disable it default and let users turn it on if they want. Just because Steve dislike Flash the rest of the world don’t.
Exactly.. and by the way, that demo would run extremely smoothly with the CPU power of the iPad, but Jobs is protecting his precious AppStore business model and won’t allow Flash.
HTML5 is cute. I’ve seen some nice effects that remind me of Shockwave in 1995. But to suggest that it even comes close to Flash is just hilariously ignorant.
..as is the notion that the iPad can’t handle Flash.
The lack of Flash on the iPhone is a business decision, period. And what’s funny is the legions of iPhone fanboyz who defend this decision as if it’s based on tech reasons.
Fail.
Flash owns. As does Android.
