It's not that usable on desktop browsers either.

I just spent twenty minutes trying to watch a streaming movie. Even though the load bar was way ahead of the play button, and my download speed was easily enough to stream it, the movie kept giving me the little whirly thing telling me it was loading.

It should have just been giving me the finger.

So what'd be next on the Flash replacement tour? Is there anything that can immediately be used by the big names in i-media (YouTube, Hulu, Facebook, Novamov, etc.) to replace the usage of all these little Flash boxes that have spawned faster than a hypersonic flying bomb? Because if you want people to kill something that just about everyone uses, you just gotta have a replacement available and ready to rock right out of the box.

And don't you dare say Quicktime. I've had more crashes, freezes, and general browser instability due to Quicktime than I have to Flash Plugin.
