Adobe Confirms It Won’t Support Flash On Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

[King_Jay16]

Months after Adobe confirmed they are ending support for Flash Player on mobile devices including Android, comes the announcement that they will not support Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Adobe has said that Android 4.1 won’t ever get support or certification for Flash, though they aren’t going as far as to say it won’t run altogether. Taking it a step further, Adobe will stop allowing installations of Flash from Google Play as of August 15th, although security updates and other vital patches will still come to existing users. Any installations of Flash after the August 15th date will require finding and installing the APK on all your own.

Adobe has said that HTML5 is their future, and now they are putting their money where their mouth is.

LOL @ Reference. I wonder if the younger ones will get it? The movie was kinda fool still - but a classic none the less.

That looks like some dude from power rangers or something. Steve Jobs still talking from the grave I see.

I'll have him remind you that HTML 5 is the only thing you'll ever need.

really?
At this time it's more of a hit and miss. There are still many sites that only use flash. I can't wait until HTM5 is ready for prime time, but the reality is it has a way to go. Most predic it won't be ready for complete internet domination until about 2015.

regarding this matter i can dig it.....just as long as dem work fast on html5 right across the board but we know that aint gonna happen so i think they should've waited a while longer till html5 is more standardized

I'm starting to really dislike Adobe, killing flash for both Mobile and Linux.

Its about time Flash was to be buried, finally Adobe making their move slowly but surely. Almost every week an Flash update is pushed. Too much exploits

I'm starting to like Adobe. They're finally stepping up to open standards, and forcing people to adopt it, which will bring about it's acceptance and standardization much faster (albeit more forcefully). This is like a slap for the WWW to wake up and make itself better in a hurry.
