Thread: Wave Buh-Bye Flash....

Looks like Steve Jobs, from beyond the grave, has the last word.

Just a question of time until Adobe kills desktop Flash as well.

Yeah, I guess that old "Android is better because it runs Flash" argument kind just died a fiery death earlier this year, and this is the final "poof" of smoke....

Adobe confirms it won't support Flash on Android 4.1, stops new Flash installs from Google Play on August 15th



Adobe was very public about dropping mobile Flash last fall. In case that wasn't clear enough, the developer just drew a line in the sand: Android 4.1 doesn't, and won't ever, get certification for Flash. The company is stopping short of saying that Flash won't run, but it's evident that Adobe won't help you if the web browser plugin doesn't install (or breaks in spectacular fashion) on that Nexus 7. Just to underscore the point, the firm is also halting new installations of Flash from Google Play as of August 15th. Security updates and other vital patches will continue on for existing users. Any fresh downloads after that fateful day, however, will have to come from Adobe's mausoleum for old versions. The company had already said that HTML5 was the way forward on phones and tablets -- now we know just how quickly it's backing up that claim.

Outlived him didn't it.
