i know a flash developer (strictly pc platform) who is having to rethink her limited skillset. she's telling me the market has dried up and she's not getting any work for the past several months. granted, no one does anything from december through february, but she's really good and is usually busy that time of year. nothing. so i'd say your post has a little more truth to it than you intended.
Tons of people are now looking for iOS and Android developers. I'm experiencing it too. I will have to learn mobile development sooner or later, whatever the OS... Or HTML/CSS rendered on mobile devices etc. Specialising in Flash over the next 10 years is not something you would want to do unless you have a particular niche or good ad agency contacts (they are the ones still flogging the stuff).
The tough part though - do a global search for an actual full semester or even diploma or degree in iOS and Android development. Tell me if you find more than 5 quality universities anywhere in the world offering these courses. (Remember, not just one or two week "intensives" or online video)
My brothers android tablet (Advent Vega, also based on the Tegra 2) runs the dolphin browser, when scrolling rather busy websites you could see elements scrolling with lag behind the rest of the page and it beginning to stutter. There must be something seriously wrong with the software if my A4 based iPad can render pages with far more spit and polish than an Android device with a technically superior Tegra 2.

Yep, but you're extremely limited in what videos are available. Try streaming a video from a local news story, for example.
just tried the local network website for news videos on my iphone. EVERYTHING is available for my iphone at local affiliates for cbs, nbc abc and fox.
Try making an argument that hold water, for example

I was specifically referring to the BBC News application, which has only a very limited number of videos available.
