there is always more underneath, follow the money

You DO need Adobe's Flash if you currently wish to view a great deal of the video on the web regardless of the hardware (or OS) you're using to view it.
Not necesarily true. Youtube, among others, would display movies in H.264 (proprietary crap from the MPAA) and Ogg (free software) under HTML5.
The real issue is that Apple can't close up their products as long as there is flash, because it works as a bypass to run stuff on the iphony and ipaad.

- Nah -- it's just a ruse. Apple wants complete control of the UI and they don't want competitors to use their stuff.
- Adobe doesn't say you have to use anything.

- Apple threatens video lawsuit, raises book prices
