People are going to increasingly use mobile devices to browse the web. Tablets especially are going to be big. iPads, Android tablets, Kindles, and I'm willing to bet even Microsoft makes a dent. Five years from now, I'd say we do 20% of our browsing from mobile devices.

Correct. Flash is dead for mobile web browsers, which never belonged on phones to begin with. Flash continues to live on in mobile AIR apps.
