BBC Keeps Android Flash Alive In the UK

Posted by timothy on from the media-as-well-as-the-media dept.

judgecorp writes "Although Adobe wants to can mobile Flash, the Android Flash app has returned to the Google Play store in the UK after disappearing earlier this month. It has come back because of pressure from large organisations, in particular the BBC, whose popular iPlayer video on demand service uses Flash. The Android app is back, apparently for as long as it takes the BBC to move to HTML5."

    This is the BBC - their license payers don't use dimes.
