Porn makers to ditch flash – HTML5 is sexier

It looks like Steve Jobs has an unlikely ally in his battle against Adobe Flash because according to an article written by Wolfgang Gruener it looks like the porn industry will abandon flash as soon as desktop browsers fully support HTML 5.

Leading adult film studio Digital Playground has announced their intentions to shift to HTML5 due in part to the fact that they need this platform to reach the horny iPhone users. Digital Playground has been delivering various porn based content to iPhone users for the last two years. This has never been backed by Apple on the iTunes store so they have been using the web platform to deliver the content.

“Mobile browsers run HTML 5 very well,” said Ali Joone, founder and director of Digital Playground. “Flash brings everything to a crawl and has an impact on battery life. With HTML 5, there is no reason to show our content in Flash.”

Joone also said it was ‘just a matter of time until Flash disappears, it's the next passing of the torch”.
