Announced with the new Palm Pre WebOS 1.4.0, there will be a plugin available for Adobe Flash 10.1 beta support. Said plugin is not available yet but will be in the near future.
Now I can wish, with the rest of you, and pray for a slow and painful death for adobe flash when html5 is finally released but I really doubt that it will happen. More and more I’m seeing custom flash API’s being implemented and I doubt anyone is going to want to change that when HTML5 comes out. Though I can’t read into the future and say one way or the other, I think we will see a good mix of HTML5 video and Flash on popular streaming video websites.
This is really disappointing for us iPhone users out there though. I don’t want to be restricted to just YouTube content, I want to be able to view whatever with my phone.
