Adobe Stops Flash plug-ins for Mobile Devices

Adobe Stops Flash plug-ins for Mobile Devices

Adobe Systems Inc. is pulling its Flash software for Web video and games from the browsers of mobile devices, though Flash will still work on mobile apps and on the Web browsers of regular computers.

Steve Job was right, He already banned Flash from working on the iPhone and the iPad. According to an Adobe e-mail briefing sent to business partners quoted in the ZDNet report,The e-mail stated the change in plans this way:


"Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer adapt Flash Player for mobile devices to new browser, OS version, or device configurations. Some of our source code licensees may opt to continue working on and releasing their own implementations. We will continue to support the current Android and PlayBook configurations with critical bug fixes and security updates."
