Yes - this is is exactly what I think of them. "In the late 1990s, it was common for companies to spend $50,000 to $150,000 for a Flash homepage that looked like a beautiful brochure. However, they soon learned that Flash was cumbersome, slow to load, expensive to build, and hard to update, and moved on to HTML. Now only specialized, high-end sites are Flash only.... The exact same thing has replayed itself on the iPhone." Don't give up on the open standards.
