What Jobs says is totally consistent from his perspective (or if you will, from within his reality distortion field): In a world, where there is only apple devices, Flash indeed has outlived its usefulness because there is no need for multi platform rich application/content development/authoring when there is only one platform left. Surely, that is how Jobs would like to perceive the state of affairs. Given how well Apple is currently doing in leading the mobile device space, his vision does seem to to converge with reality. Unless of course, the competition will get their act together and do something with Android that will have as much mainstream-appeal as the iPhone.
