Adobe Discontinues Mobile Flash Development

2010

Steve: Flash sucks.
Adobe: No it doesn't!

2011

Adobe: Flash sucks.

Remember this image?


Well it's been all fun and games but guess what, Adobe's discontinuing the development of flash on mobile!

K so it doesn't really mean Android will lose flash....just future flash support, you can still run flash on your Android and even Blackberry playbook...but it definitely means that you won't see Adobe pushing new updates for flash on mobile anymore (mine stopped at version 11 updated October 14).

I guess Adobe finally realised the potential of HTML5 and has begun investing in it instead.


Well......IT'S BEEN FUN!

Adobe could have continued with the bigger android market share.

I think they are going to continue, just not focus on flash support on mobile, rather flash support built into apps through Adobe A.I.R. Now with Adobe being able to do both Andoird and iOS, I think they figured it's the smarter way to move.
