As you probably already know, HTML 5 is set to replace Flash in a lot of ways. If you thought only video streaming sites will replace Flash, here's proof that you can do much more with HTML 5. Very impressive!

It will once video streaming sites decide what format they're going to put behind the HTML5 tags. YouTube is using H.264 which is not free or open source, as such Opera can't handle it and neither can quite a few devices.

We've just gone from one prison (Flash) to another. (H.264)

Though it is nice to see this is a bit faster than the older standards that didn't run in a plugin.

H.264 may be patented (and licensable by anyone, might I add) but at least the support is not entirely dependent upon a single company (which can rip off developers for development tools)

Also, HTML5 is HTML (obviously). Compiled Flash is a binary blob. Extra valid reason IMHO (Version control + text indexing/SEO anyone?)

I love HTML5. Granted, I know next to nothing about it, but I love how fast it can be, especially for streaming video (on Vimeo, no matter what the video size, it loads nearly instantly and starts to play within ten seconds or so. That's very awesome).

Thanks for sharing this Jeku, it's pretty awesome.

I agree with CoffeeCoder, YouTube's new player loads videos in a flash.

I'd imagine it is Flash; it's Adobe's page, right? It only makes sense that they'd use their own stuff to make the site. There are references to flash and .swf files in the source but I'm not certain as to what they're actually doing with them.

It's flash. So is Acrobat.com. Both are good implementations of Flash. I've found them to be quick and very snappy. Not to mention reliable.

I use acrobat.com and I really like it. I'd like to try photoshop.com, but it seems that it is US only at the moment.

Ah, seems all adobe sites use the same account details, so I've managed to log in using my Acrobat.com details.

no, technically it's being drawn with the HTML5 canvas. The changes being made to the canvas when you click and drag and stuff is javascript, but javascript isn't rendering it.

I kind of hate that reason, if only for the huge file sizes, especially when embedded media is required.

This thread wasn't to convince anyone that this is better than Photoshop, obviously. It's more of an HTML "ooh, ahh".

I, for one, am really excited to watch the HTML5 canvas and such slow take out Flex/Flash based web apps
