I'lll be sure to consider that when switching between a contacts mail and messages without switching apps, browsing a web page with a Flash enabled, Skyping over 3G, or calling peoplewith a single hit from the home screen on the HTC Hero I'm going to replace my iPhone with.

And that flexibility comes at a direct cost to ease of use. Particularly on a mobile with limited battery life.

And can we stop with the adobe marketing bullet-point? Do real people actually -care- if they get flash on their phone?

IME what people are looking for is support of video sites that aren't youtube.

But shouldn't we be calling on those sites to support vanilla h264 and html 5 rather than h264-wrapped-in-proprietary-inefficient-mess?

Why call on -phones- to destroy our batteries trying to make that proprietary inefficient mess run acceptably?

are you saying open source video codecs use less power? Do you have a reference for that?
