Why the Ugh? This is a good trend. All content providers *should* move over to non-proprietary formats. If the existence of the iPhone, as the sole resistance against Flash is forcing them to do so, you should be glad, not Ugh. #vimeoiphoneandroid

@Danny Allen: And I explained why that is not necessarily a bad thing. Think about it. Do you think YouTube and Vimeo would've gone through (or go) the trouble of converting all their video to standards compliant format, if the iPhone shipped with even a crappy, bloated, slow, unbearable support for Flash? I'm not trying to be an apologizer, I actually wouldn't mind having Flash on my iPhone at all; however, if Apple, now with 17% global market share in smart phones, stubbornly resisting the pressure to get Flash on the iPhone is making these services become standards compliant, then I'm actually for it, and I will bear with the lack of Flash for the time being. #vimeoiphoneandroid

Wild guess: except for the iPhone, probably. Ugh.

Don't be upset, Danny. Papa Jobs knows what's best and he only wants a good iPhone experience for you. Some day when you're older, you'll understand. Until then, just be patient, ok? #vimeoiphoneandroid

@Pressure: Whether or not something is actually better isn't always the issue. There's no denying the ubiquitude of Flash content on the web. Even if a better system begins to overtake it, there will still be thousands and thousands of things unviewable by devices unable to render Flash. Personally, I'd rather have the option to not view it (if I actually felt so strangely self-righteous as to insult a video format) rather than being flatly told I'm not allowed to view it, by the device manufacturer (even though the device is technically capable). #vimeoiphoneandroid
