Adobe's Open Screen Initiative has already gained too much momentum to be stopped and does exactly what Apple wishes it could - creates a universal standard for media delivery to any device any where. Couple that with flash support for Android and Windows Mobile (flash & silverlight - ouch apple!) and the various other smart phone tech thats emerging (Nvidia's new chip will also pwn here) and it looks like a long dirty fight for a margin or space at BEST for Apple.
