it'll be interesting to see the fate of flash over the coming months I think

Well you can see the interest in Flex is waning since middle 2009 http://www.google.com/insights/search/#cat=0-5&q=flex%2C... . Compare that with JQuery : http://www.google.com/insights/search/#cat=0-5&q=flex%2C...

I read that YouTube, one of Flash's last big supporters, is working hard on an HTML5 video viewer

YouTube has had HTML5 video for a while. I actually like the HTML5 viewer more than their flash one. You can start using it at http://www.youtube.com/html5.

The one thing they don't have are ads for the HTML5 videos, so things like music still have to be viewed with flash.

I thought YouTube already supported HTML5 players? I remember trying something, but perhaps it is in beta.
