Lets leave Flash in the Past...

Think about it, most websites have either optimized their websites for awesome mobile versions or cleaned up their sites to run fully on any HTML browser. What do we really need flash for? The only think I can think of are embedded movies or games. Games can be taken care of by making an app out of it. If you offer a free game online, offer a free game in one of the app stores. Hell if it's a popular game, people would be willing to pay $0.99 to play it on their phone and actually save their progress.

As for video, we've already been shown that HTML 5 can do video just fine.

Everything else, like all Flash sites are a thing of the past. Sure, sites still have elements of Flash, but they aren't needed anymore.

Plus, I've seen some ...

Actually most sites arn't still optimized for mobile browsing, and a lot of those mobile sites give up a LOT of content to go mobile.

Flash may be dying, but HTML5 is nowhere near pervasive enough to replace it entirely. Yes, some flash sites are choppy, but just like anything else, things coded by decent developers looks great in flash as well as in HTML5. (I have flash on my phone, it's great for a lot of stuff, choppy for unoptimized stuff) I actually mainly use it to listen to my favorite radio station, since it doesn't come in on any app I've found.

Leave flash in the past?? Thats easier said than done. Majority of websites still use flash to deliver media content and I doubt that will change anytime soon. Also, most new Android phones with faster processors and video chips help eliminate choppy flash content. Also, it has alot to do with coding. The same goes for HTML5. Also, like Menno said... The mobile versions of most websites lack alot of content offered on the full version of the website. Most of that content is probably in flash. Like I said earlier... Flash is here and probably isnt going anywhere anytime soon.
