I thought this was a good moment to discuss some interesting possibilities that are opening open for people who develop rich Internet applications without resorting to plug-ins such as Flash and Silverlight. If you have followed some of the hype that has been bubbling all over the Web about Apple's new iPad, you will be hard pressed to have missed the point that it doesn't support any such plug-ins.
In fact, the lack of Flash support has been one of the most hit on criticisms against the iPad. Now, how is this interesting for the readers of MorfikWatch? Well, let's consider this. Several major websites that make use of Flash have been scrambling to get rid of it, instead of getting rid of the millions of people that are expected to get an iPad between now and the end of this year.
