The fact is that the iPod, the iPhone and many many other great selling ideas of Apple have been around for so long and no-one has been able to build that "iToy-Killer" yet.

To me (as a non-developer) it seems a lot like Apple is making some sensible decisions for platform stability and compatibility for the years to come. Devs don't like that, but once they realize that it's easy to scale to Apple's next hardware, they might change their mind.

Maybe I'm ignorant, but I always prefered HTML- and PHP-websites over Flash-based ones, so I'm glad to see Flash go out the door.
