Adobe is Abandoning Mobile Flash!

Adobe is halting future Development of its mobile plugin, meaning its  upcoming release of Flash Player 11.1 for Android and the BlackBerry PlayBook will be the last.

Adobe has made this move partly because of apples dominance in the mobile sector and its refusal to support flash on it mobile phones and tablets.  Also Microsoft’s recent decision to also not support flash on its windows 8 tablets was probably the final nail in the coffin.

Adobes official explanation is the it now believes the alternative HTML 5 technology offers the “best solution” because it is “universally supported”.

 

This only affects mobile devices as Flash for desktop machine and laptops is still going strong.
