And while you are at it, I'd really like to know how to smoothly play vector animation in HTML5 (vector based animation != runtime switching of SVG files), something that Flash could do, you know, before it was even called Flash - a good 14 years ago? And I'd dearly like to know how can I pack a full encryption library in 30KB implemented in JS (and I'll even accept avg 5x slower execution in that case).
re: TCPIP: To be honest I do not know. My interest is in the media delivery aspect which the majority of "ordinary consumers" are going to be using an iPad for. However I would think that if you want to target iPad users you can make an app for that (and bill your client accordingly).

As for animation: I agree that Flash had a very strong suite for vector animation. It's why I first got involved with it. I do know that CSS can do vector animation and at least under OS X with Core-Animation and Core Image, it can be done. What does that mean for the Windows side? No idea, I don't use Windows. Similarly I can't speak on Linux 'cause I don't use any distro either. I figure there are people here with more insight to that.
