Apple looks to SproutCore to kill Flash
While Adobe is working with the iPhone SDK to bring Flash to the iPhone, Apple is working with SproutCore, an open source JavaScript framework the company reportedly used to build MobileMe. Some have even called SproutCore a “Flash Killer,” which may explain Apple’s reluctance to include the technology on the iPhone.

todd: yeah, i'm not sure. in particular, the thing that people *really* use flash for is streaming video (youtube, et. al.). i don't see how srpoutcore does that. http://vaughanknight.com/​blog/​2008/​06/​sproutcore-​vs-​silverlight-​vs-​f.html even says "Sproutcore might have some shiny features out of the box, but true open standards are already being offered in many forms, including Google's GWT. How one would do video streaming via Javascript starts to hurt my brain."
