HTML5 has been a failure on the phones I have tested.
HTML5 is really shitty compared to Flash when it comes to programming and animation;
so since HTML5 seems to fail, then Flash on Android at least gives an app that works
to the max even if it's only for Android.
It's like you can make something(html5) shitty for 80% of people who will never buy into it or
you can make something really dynamic(flash) for 53% of people but all 53% are sold on it.

While Google Android?s share of the smartphone market soars, Apple?s is drooping.
Last quarter, Android represented 53% of smartphone shipments, according to Gartner ? some 60 million devices shipped worldwide.
That represented three times more Android shipments than the year-ago period (21 million), and twice as much market share (25%).
Meanwhile, Apple?s market share dropped to 15%, down from 17% a year ago and 18% during the prior quarter. Overall shipments grew, but not nearly at the rate as Android?s.

Some have said "Steve Jobs was right/vindicated" when he ranted about Flash and not putting
it in the Iphone when Adobe canned it's work on the "Mobile Flash engine".
Well, here's a idea. With 53% of the market capable of running Flash as is and phones
only getting better then what is the purpose of making a "mobile engine" just for
a iphone consumer?
There is no sense in Adobe doing anything about flash on a iphone when the market
is shifting to the phones that can actually run the normal flash engine.
If the "gaming community" becomes a big factor in who buys smart phones then phones
without Flash are going to drop to the bottom if the list.
The reason is that making games in HTML5 is simply a stupid sick joke when compared
to Flash. There is simply not going to be some huge gaming site with all these awesome
HTML5 games.
Of course what I said is exactly opposite of what I have heard. I've heard that
Flash is dead, it's going away. But with android taking 53% of the market and likely
to grow, I don't see the numbers pointing to the death of Flash.
Flash is capable of letting a person view or run a webcam from their cellphone.
Live webcam sex may bring the end to the iphone.
Iphone or Iphuckedup?
