@tomogden - one problem: HTML5 does not duplicate EVERY function Flash has, no two vendors will implement HTML5 identically (just like previous versions and standards like CSS, there will be alterations and hassles), and a few sites I've been to do not scroll very smoothly using HTML5 compared to Flash.
I've appreciated ZDNet's articles of recent, where they do actual analysis and go beyond huff'n'fluff.

Plus other sites, but they're not hard to find.
Adobe may be arrogant, but it's not like Microsoft and Apple aren't. (Oh, Canabalt - made on Flash, violated Apple's own policies when converting Flash code to port Canabalt to the iPhone. http://www.edge-online.com/features/gdc-semi-secret-talk-canabalt-flixel So either Apple opens up to everybody again and allows CS5's iPhone converter tool, or they lock EVERYBODY out. They can make the rules but if they choose to be their own referee, it's in awful taste for them to play "cherrypicking" and play favorites.)
