I'm all for the purging of everything that is flash, as well. But as long as there is content out there based on it, I wouldn't mind the option of being able to view it.

When playing Youtube videos, are you sure they are flash, or HTML5? I have Android 2.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S, and YouTube works without the ability to install a flash player. Forgive my ignorance if I'm missing something ;p

"All of which makes one believe that maybe Steve Jobs was right to eschew Flash in lieu of HTML5 on the iPhone and iPad." Or perhaps this just means this is the first iteration of the Android OS to attempt Flash compatibility and it obviously needs more time to mature? I hate flash as much as the next guy, but with as much content as there is out there that is based on Flash, if Android gets it working properly, it will be a big advantage over the iPhone OS.

It was also invented so that Chruch would retain all of a priest's assets after he died, if he had any. No children to pass anything down to.

I always thought it was pronounced plan-eh-arium.
