Adobe Ends Development of Flash On Mobile Browsers

Posted by Unknown on from the gnash-developers-weep-over-wasted-time dept.

larry bagina writes "Jason Perlow of ZDNet is reporting that Adobe will stop developing Flash for mobile browsers and focus on AIR and HTML5 tools. I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if 750 voices screamed out in terror and were laid off. But that noise was overshadowed by everybody else celebrating."

    Jobs didn't blink when he said Flash will never work on mobile. He was convinced Flash was unviable way before Adobe acknowledged as much 4 years after the iPhone debuted.

    He knew this day was a matter of time. It's the rest of us who are "surprised".
