OK we have a real cross platform browser alternative to flash now.

Mozilla and Los Angeles, California–based graphics software company Otoy have jointly announced ORBX.js, a new JavaScript library which the companies say can deliver full 1080p, 60fps digital video in a browser window using only web standards–based technologies.

"It is a remarkable achievement to see a high performance video codec rivaling H.264 that runs entirely in the browser," Mozilla director of engineering Vlad Vukicevic said in a canned statement.

The library is said to work on any modern browser, including those running on mobile devices – provided, that is, they offer "fast JavaScript" and support WebGL. Those criteria are likely to exclude many built-in smartphone browsers, but recent builds of such downloadable mobile browsers as Google Chrome, Firefox, and Opera should fill the bill."

So IMO if Sailfish phones use this and the web starts getting on board with this then I can ditch my flash requirement. Also if you read the article it can be used for virtualization too.

If you grab your N9, get on wifi, use firefox and go to http://render.otoy.com/gallery.php and pick any of the non video items the pictures look really good.
The video however, though high resolution is very slow to load and plays choppy. I'm guessing because they don't have enough rendering power yet, they are probably getting overwhelmed and maybe the choppy playing has something to do with the N9 as it plays beautifully on my 64 bit linux desktop in firefox.

So testing with

N9 = works only with firefox browser. Opera, qmlbrowser, stock browser, UC browser does not work.
Video plays choppy but high resolution, pictures look very good.

My desktop - running plasma DE on mex from http://linux.exton.net/ on a 64bit 6 core amd 3.2ghz and nvidia gtx460 with latest 319 drivers in firefox results = looks very good.
Video still loads slowly I think they are underpowered right now.

Dell d630 running kubuntu 13.04 and windows 7 using firefox videos and pictures looked very good but download is super slow. They need more of them 33,000 dollar nvidia towers.

I'm going to ask some HTC one owners over at the XDA forums to try it out and see how it plays on that device.
