We know that Flash is heavy, and a certain electronics firm hates it. Even I felt annoyed at times by its clumsiness, and now that HTML5 is out, Flash is no longer superior when delivering awesome and funky content in a cool way. Oddly, even Adobe agrees, and they’ve announce a new tool called Wallaby.

Guys, meet Wallaby. He’s the new kid from Adobe, and funnily he’s going to convert Flash content to HTML5 for you. That means it’s targeted at taking Flash-encoded artwork and animations and turning them into a more compatible mix of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Of course, the intent here is not some magnanimous move to free us from the shackles of Flash — Adobe openly admits that the initial goal for the new tool will be to help convert animated banner ads so that they work on the iOS platform

Right, so even Adobe needs to please Apple, and that’s why Wallaby’s here.
