Flash or Not to Flash?

I think the question has changed in recent times, to, "Does Apple's current stance on Flash make using it a liability, seeing iPads and iPhones are on the up?"

I am not against Flash, but the main thing that makes me stop and think before using it is Apple's stance and the fact that Apple's market share and influence seems to be on the up and in the end I want to target customers with what will do the job.

Of late I too have jaded on using Flash. Much can be achieved with the likes of JQuery.

I heard a stat the other day, something like: 62% of Americans accessed the web on a mobile device last year. Who knows what Apple's share of that was but it's likely to be significant... and without doubt that 62% will continue to increase.

flash effects are nice but i would not recommend building whole website on flash except only if website is needed for enhance company image. if you need to be findable, to increase traffic, ROI, conversion rate and profit, DO NOT build flash site
