Though I find that most Flash/Silverlight guys tend to care little about standards, sadly.

Let's see. Flex is based on XML and ActionScript 3, which is based on ECMAScript, the international standardized programming language for scripting. ECMA-262 to be exact.

Not one comment about Silverlight - XAML, JavaScript and C# are pretty much not standardized; but it's a necessary evil in some client projects.

That's more than one standard. Now, in my comment, I can see how it could be skewed to support your idea that Flex/Silverlight developers don't care about standards; however you're very wrong. XML, E4X, ECMA, MVC, all make appearances in my day.

And without specifying what "standards" you're talking about; I'd suggest that you do more research into what you're talking about.

Now, in regards to AJAX, there's nothing new about xmlhttprequest. It's not really changed since Microsoft dreamt it up years ago. However, as I were talking, I was talking about the presentation layer and how you can use AJAX to represent data and pull queries and display that information without having to redraw the entire screen. Same as I would do in Flex/Flash.

There's nothing new about asynchronous data; but I suggest that you understand that I was talking about RIA's and more importantly, the presentation layer.

Nice try though.

Any update on this? As it is right now I can't download Amazon movies because they tweaked the VOD site to require Flash 10...it's driving me crazy.

Sorry for the delay, here's what I've got:

-- I don't have inside info on Nokia releases... I know they're heavily involved in expanding the ecology within the Open Screen Project, but I don't know what will ship when.

-- Amazon Video-on-Demand is a for-pay service, and the clientside support for these types of contracts was introduced with Adobe Flash Player 10. Sorry, but I don't see a way for you to work that service today.

-- Other sites should generally be fine, but this will change with time... Player 10 was audited in March at 75% support on consumer desktops... each week more websites feel comfortable using Player 10 features.

We've got two things to solve: making it easier and faster for manufacturers to get Flash running on their devices, and then being able to easily update devices already running out there in the world. More info on how these are being addressed is at openscreenproject.org
