With the new additions built into HTML5 are we going to find the multimedia plugin’s like Silverlight and Flash are irrelevant? We have been relying on Flash for many years and it has owned a large part of the interactive market for so long that the idea of building without it seems “Out there”! There are already a number of large websites planning on dropping flash for a more compatible solution in HTML5. No more plugin’s required, oh what a world that would be… Still the adoption of HTML5 into many of the browsers still has to happen but there are already a few like Firefox, Chrome and Opera that support it, but until it is used across all browsers Flash will still have some life. Also when it comes to gaming I think you’ll see that Flash will maintain its crown over the Interactive space!
