This looks like a pretty interesting alternative method to get Flash on the iPhone and iPad. From what I have read it sounds like it's slower that regular Flash especially when it comes to interactive stuff like games. At this point it's probably good for ads.
Smokescreen seems to take an SWF and convert into an SVG file and ad some javascript, so the end results are compatible with iPhone and and iPad.
Thanks to Karaminder for pointing me to this.
Can't believe that Steve Jobs would let the iDevices miss out on this:
Here's what the head of Adobe has to say about Steve Job's positions on Flash being excluded from the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

Here's a great discussion of the Flash vs. HTML5. The funny thing about this, is, in some respects these guys really don't get what Flash does. Great discussion on the future of the web and what to expect with the future of web development.

An interesting look at the iPad. The suggestion is that Flash on the iPhone would reduce the exclusivity of the device. Developers working with Flash, if it were available on the iPad/Phone, could be making apps for all of the devices that support Flash. By only allowing Apple approved languages on the i devices apps for the devices will only appear there.
Thanks to James for this link.
Here's site to test your favorite browser. See how well it implements HTML5.
Loos like Safari outscores Firefox.
I was thinking about when to use a div over another tag. You want to use a div to divide your page and create sections. Often you run into a situation where you're not really creating a whole new section but you need a tag to mark up an element.
It occurred to me that I use the div tag when the element will contain more than one type of content. For examples, pictures and text. I use the paragraph or other tag when the element contains only one type of content.
