Adobe?s Wallaby Can?t Jump Very High

Earlier today, Adobe Labs released Wallaby, a way to convert simple Flash games and animations into HTML so that it is readable on "devices that do not support the Flash runtimes." Those would be iPhones and iPads. In other words, Wallaby is Adobe's way of bowing down to HTML5 and, by extension, to Steve Jobs who has always insisted that there is no need for Flash because HTML5 will take over. Adobe's capitulation to Apple has been going on for a long time?first with Flash converters for iPhone and iPad apps, and now with Flash in the browser. Remember that Apple at first tried to block Adobe's moves, but eventually relented. So Wallaby is a converter for Flash content on the Web that makes it Apple-friendly (it really works with any Webkit browser). That's all well and good, and the way it should be, except this Wallaby cannot jump very high.
