Poll: How Important Is Flash?
There is an ongoing debate between the iOS people and the Android/Windows Mobile people regarding the importance of Flash.
No doubt, Flash is a very popular web technology used by many sites, but recently a question popped up about the importance of Flash in those sites, especially when accessed from a mobile device. Some believe that Flash is valuable and must be supported by today’s powerful smartphones while others believe it is a source of many problems like stability, performance and battery life.

Like everything else, the user should have the ultimate choice. So please “don’t think for me”. I am a big boy. Support it but if it gives me problems allow me to disable it.
I can use flash on my phone (thank you frash), but I don’t. Why? Because it’s almost useless on a mobile platform. I load the occasional video via flash if it doesn’t automatically load in an outside application, but 90% of the time I see some flash on a webpage on my phone, even if I could interact with it normally, it’s not designed with a touch interface in mind, so it’s pretty much useless.
