How long will it take before the iPhone kills flash Web sites?
Flash as a platform, of course, will never die. In fact it is proving to be a pretty nifty tool for delivering content.
But I’m thinking about those bubble-gum sites that are designed in that horrid 550pxx400 keyhole. Because iPhone doesn’t like them. And iPhone is proving to be a pretty big deal on the Web. Just look at this interesting little factoid that popped up on teh interwebs this week. That’s right, kids. Ever since the launch of the iPhone GS Youtube has seen a 400% a day spike in increased video uploads.
