Dvorak aside, Flash is an abomination. H.264 and/or HTML 5 will
hopefully push it into the pit it deserves to live in.


I dont think the pdf format is going away, it is the standard document
format. I have serious doubts the iPad will make it, Apple set the
price too high (again).

The price will fall. Today the iPhone can be had for $99, down from $599
when originally released.

You're right about pdf format. I love pdf for its 'portability' in my
business.

A couple of years ago all of our invoices were sent and received via FAX.

I'd say that 98%+ are now done via e-mail in pdf format.

And with a free app like BullZip:

.... it is even easier to "pdf" documents, maps, plans, invoices,
proposals, etc.

Sure makes "doing business" easier, quicker, and a damn sight more
efficient.
