Title: When will there be available a substitute for Flash?
Post by: Zell on July 31, 2012, 11:48:39 AM

I know there's a way to get Flash on the N7 but I keep hearing elsewhere that Flash is on its way-out and will be replaced by a new technology for the iPad and N7.  When is that supposed to happen?

It's called html5 and it's already what most new websites are built on. As time goes by more and more flash sites will convert to html5.  Many large sites like YouTube support both for now but eventually will be just html5.
