Apple's official list of iPad-ready sites

And the death march on Flash continues as many major web sites — convinced that the iPad will be HUGE — have converted their web sites to use HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript for delivering online news, content, and video playback. Click the link above for Apple’s growing list, which includes CNN, Vimeo, MLB, People, Time, NYT, etc.

Is this an indication that Flash’s demise is imminent? Nah, I’m sure Flash technology will stick around for quite awhile with so many businesses still heavily invested in Flash development. But I do believe the impact of the iPhone, iPod touch, and the iPad will definitely diminish Flash’s importance on the Web. Whatever the future holds, I’m certainly glad I decided to learn Objective-C/Cocoa Touch, instead of Flash/Flex development a few years back.
