IMO p2p in flash might actually make be the biggest impact.

It looks to be slowly improving library support.
Impressive indeed. So any good ARM assembly coders fancy porting to the N900? :-)

Lightspark is slow and barely supports Youtube yet, sorry.

But it's progressing, which is a plus. I just read that there was support for video, so I don't know how far-along/behind they are.

I think that flash is wonderful (bias), but Adobe has dropped the ball on certain implementations. It's nice to see the community pick up the fumble, and who knows: the OS project may eventually go beyond the proprietary Adobe player!

Of course it's a moving target. That's the nature of media. Sadly, it means that open source has yet to identify a target, or set of targets that are forward thinking enough to become a full replacement. To me, that's a very bad thing and all it does is enable people to whine, complain, stay angry yet doesn't empower them at all with a viable solution.

It's sorta like all the projects to emulate Microsoft technologies.
It's been time to innovate, stop emulating. That's what I truly don't like about portions of these open source endeavors. If you emulate what's out today, you're thinking like Microsoft or Adobe 18-24 months (whatever their development cycle may be) ago.

On the other side of things... look at Blender. They actually were going torwards gaming when 3DS Max and Maya weren't fully there yet. They were going towards particles when others insisted on doing that via external apps. The open source community has some bright spots... the fight on Flash is not one of them.

I'm sure Adobe would be unhappy if a free alternative to their plugin came along. All those uppity mobile device users might think they should be able to use Flash without the handset maker paying $BIGNUM in licensing fees.
That's the name of competition. So far, there's been none from the open source community.

I just found out that Lightspark actually does support YouTube. According to this post anyway:
http://allievi.sssup.it/techblog/?p=557

It does not yet support this game:

Which is a shame, because it's awesome.
