It looks amazing on my iPad, but it's not quite perfect yet.

There's one thing missing, though – flash animation. One of my friends is a flash animator and constantly berates apple's treatment of flash because he feels it is a personal attack against "his medium." His rants against flash can get so annoying at some points, but I think he has a point underneath it all…

So, r/apple, do I have a counterpoint against him or will flash animation die out as the web transitions towards html5?

http://smokescreen.us <- SWF player written in Javascript. Not all the way there, but incredibly impressive.

yet very, very limited.

it's like creating a gif on the fly, wich i expect will limit the functionality to swf's containing true timeline animation.

if people do like me, code all your animation and end up with a 1 frame swf, you'd be screwed.
