(Wired) -- Maybe Apple approved Skyfire, an iPhone web browser that plays Flash videos, to prove a point: Flash is losing relevance. Despite widespread excitement over the first app to work with Adobe's plug-in, it turns out that Skyfire isn't very useful. My hands-on time with the app, which came out Wednesday (and quickly "sold out," according to the developer's press release), was an eye-opening experience. The app's primary function is to take websites that use embedded Flash video and automatically transcode that video into HTML5 so that it's viewable on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

Some Flash-dependent sites that work well on Skyfire, are "Daily Show" and "Colbert Report"
That makes me believe that the tipping point for @placeholder to become irrelevant is when the most-popular porn sites shift to HTML5.
