Why Did Android Finally Bids Farewell to Adobe Flash

Youth Frenzy - Something that people never thought of a year ago has happened: Adobe quietly lay down their Flash player for mobile devices. It is not a surprise as Flash did not receive the expected response from users and it seemed the particular product from Adobe was doomed to perish from the beginning. Adobe has removed Flash from Google Play and it will no longer be available for users. Android enabled devices that don’t have Flash will not able to download it from now. It is not the complete end to Flash as it will offer security updates on a regular basis to existing Flash users (if there are any). This is the maximum service Adobe will render for Flash in future.

Doubt it. Apple users are fanatical. They prolly gunna start a new religious cult for all the mindless followers to join, like scientology or something like that.

Dude Apple can slap an Apple logo on steaming poop and call it the i poop and it will sell millions, then six months later they can release the i poop SG and will sell another millions.

I dont hate Apple and congrats to them for being the most important company in the world but never understood why people are willing to drop $600 on a phone that cost about $150 to make in china.

Of course we wouldn't. Because HTML5 has been slow to adoption for "former" flash uses and flash still rules the internet.
