    ukit I think like everything on the web there is a pros and cons to doing things with certain technologies. It depends on what the best solution for the the clients needs.

    The problem is Apple has created something that complete shuts off an potential development option. If the client want a site that flash works perfectly for it will not show up on an ipad or iphone. But at the same time HTML 5 and JQuery are limited at this point in time and will most like not be able to catch up for years.

    If I make an Apple mobile OS version of a clients site I keep an eye on how many times it is accessed. I also look at the types of devices used to access the site in Google analytics. If It turns out only 1% or 2% of visits come from an iphone, ipad than there is no point to develop the site in HTML5 or with jQuery.

    What do you think?
