The iPhone's 3.1.1 rejection of CS5 is very dangerous to Adobe, because it undermines their platform's relevance. Particularly during a changing of the guard. One response is to ensure their great tools work well for HTML5 (which is probably in their interests anyway); but Flash remains valuable and worth protecting. IMO, they now have an extremely strong motivation to make Flash work on ARM. Wonder what's stopping them? I agree with the article that ARM smartbooks need the whole web, since they are competing with the near-universal applications on the x86 platform. But maybe even that isn't enough, since the network is intrinsically slow and unreliable http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacies_of_Distributed_Computing#The_fallacies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacies_of_Distributed_Comput... and consider the demand for iPhone native apps. Perhaps faster javascript and RIA will fix this, enabling "native" webapps.
