No mention of how it handles hover events...

One imagines there are many flash applications that are not reliant on hover events, in the same manner that there are many HTML webpages that did not.

HTML5 can't access the webcam.

Really? Are people still" trotting this out?

You know I haven't been able to play a single HTML5 game on my N1. Every single one requires either a physical keyboard or mouse events that I can't simulate.

I agree that it's a red herring in the "future of Flash" argument, but it's still a significant hurdle. The value of any existing Flash content that requires keybaord or mouse hover interactions is diminished almost to the point that you might as well not have it.

That's not to say that future Flash content won't be built with touchscreen interfaces in mind.

Yeah, the feeling of playing a game in a web browser on a mobile device (regardless of whether it's Flash or HTML5 or whatever) is usually poor enough if it's even doable that I wonder whether there'll ever be much mobile gaming through web browsers.
