appsplit: "Adobe made an announcement last year stating that they will kill support for flash on mobile devices and tomorrow they will pull the plug on Flash for android. They will not support any future installs for Android. Even though Adobe stated back in the days that Flash would bring the full web experience to mobile devices but looks like they’re not interested in bringing any experience to mobile devices now."
Flash though....its the first language i learned and loved, and now its disappearing. Its weird....never thought that'd happen.
sigh...
This is silly.
Lets face it, flash was always crap even on high end Android devices till last year. Also adobe didn't giva a sh!t to optimze flash and make it less of a resource and battery hog. Also flash had gaping security issues. Also factor in that Apple wasn't backing Adobe as well infact they were staunch opposers (and as per statistics, internet usage of iOS is greater than Android)... So the larget consumer base was shunning it as well.
Add all of those facts and it's not shocking to see the white flag from the adobe stable.
It does suck because a lot of sites still use Flash....but at the same time Adobe is literally trying to kill Flash by making it a pain in the arse with updates and platform issues etc....
IF this is about Apple then its stupid too. The only reason Apple "prefers" HTML5 is because Adobe pushed their CS Suite to compete with Apple's products and Apple didn't like it, so of course they "prefer" the competition.....
if they stop android development does that mean i wont be able to see youtube videos via my mobile?
just curious
Noooooooo! I was too late!!!
If Adobe is pulling from android, then next question is who's next?
It's safe to say flash is dead on the mobile front and i say good riddance. Long live HTML5. By next year i guess 90% web will move on to HTML5 and then we can even cut it out of the destop and Laptops.
Yep. 2050 is gonna be a sweet year!
Seriously, it's sad to see Flash go. Seems like a complete and utter waste. This is only going to set mobile back several years.
