There have been huge investments in Flash-based content in education. Partly because it was simpler to make SCORM compliant resources with Flash. Some of these resources are just brilliant and would be very hard to make with another technology (I don't do Flash myself). The fact that iOS does not support Flash is a big problem for that whole industry, reducing the portability to mobile devices. I think customers (our kids here) are hostages in a battle for standards. I hope Android will win the battle, for the sake of customers.Looks like Flash is getting the same treatment:

More I think about it the more it makes sense. Most people who buy OS X don't have a need for Java anymore and those of us who do shouldn't mind installing it ourselves. Especially, if it means getting updates faster. I think these moves could be part of a larger picture of trimming down the OS and pushing the HTML 5 standard.
my 2 cents,
Johnny
