We don't know whether Apple iOS will eventually support Flash to stave off competition from competitors. But let's assume for a second that you believe that Apple will cave and iOS will support Flash. Good support for animations, 3D, and video. iPhones and iPads will be supported as an app - ugh. Impact of iOS?

One of the interesting things that was not included in the announcement of the iPad yesterday was support for Flash. But it doesn’t have Flash support. Apple has said in the past that they plan to support Flash at some point, but I’m beginning to wonder. Any guesses on Flash support on Apple mobile devices going forward?

Novices cannot effectively use the same support systems as experts. Providing learners with more on-the-job performance support does not eliminate the need for training and there are cases where training is preferred When in learning mode - people want minimal information. In fact, I would claim that most people muddle through search.

This is partly the same instruction vs. support question we've had all along?

Until eLearning vendors bite the bullet, come to real standards on formats, and then the tools and structure can build up to support those standards, eLearning is never going to be what it can be.

So, for some time, we have added "ecoaching" to our "elearning" offering, to describe our electronic support options.

Kevin doesn’t say that they are moving away from Flash – rather that they will support Flash and HTML5 as output. This comes at the same time as Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch: We’re Going To Make The Best Tools In The World For HTML5. But it’s pretty clear that even Adobe sees the problem here. What does this mean in practice?
