Just curious, because many developers use Flash to do many things that HTML 4 (correct me if I'm wrong) or below cannot or had a hard time doing, like for example the rounded corners (Canvass) and that Video Thing and many more.
I have not actually explored all of HTML5, so might as well learn it from you.
thanks.
Rounded corners and stuff like this is not what flash is meant for, and these applications will die off very soon as more advanced CSS and HTML 5 kicks in. Where Flash really has advantage now is applications with very rich GUI, non-trivial user interaction (drawing, messing around with many different elements in various ways, rich maps, etc.). Now, you could probably make most of these things in HTML 5, but since Flash has tools, libraries, widgets, experienced developers and so on, it would take time until the same is developer for HTML 5. So if you're starting the project right now you may have better luck with Flash (if you task indeed requires the power of Flash - if you just need video/some CSS, go HTML 5), but that might change in a couple of years.
While it is too early to say about near future, ultimately I think I think it is HTML5 which will be the new standard, I base this hunch on the fact most of the trend-setter like Apple, Google, MS are either making HTML5 their main area of thrust or alternatively making it one of their priorities. Which is why I think we will have mature, stable and fast platform for HTML5.
