DRM does not imply Flash. B2G has this problem, as it will not support Flash. I don't know how the B2G team propose to deal with this; perhaps we will eventually accept one form or another of the HTML5 <video> DRM proposals. The B2G launch is, as I understand it, the primary use case for Marketplace v.1. If it sucks without Flash apps, it sucks. If we allow Flash, that makes it more likely people will rely on it - and even if they just do so a little bit, it means that app doesn't work properly on B2G and the B2G launch gets a little worse. > This is not to say that we couldn't provide some guidelines as to > Flash usage but my suspicion is that over time, most Flash apps will > filter out of the apps marketplace in favor of better HTML5 > experiences. Especially as the HTML5 APIs evolve. I hope that's true; but the question is whether we should give it a helping kick or not.
