Rumor is Microsoft might be giving up on Silverlight as well (mobile and desktop). I'm pretty happy about that.



I wonder what netflix will do if that happens. Proprietary software or html5 or...?

How can they not, when the native (immersive) browser in Win8 support zero add ons?

Well iPhone is dominating the market, and Google doesn't have much of a reason to get in bed with Adobe, so they are doing the only thing left to do.

Should be interesting if they can live off the revenue from Photoshop, Premiere, and the other obscure programs.



There are more Android phones that iPhones.

(linked more than one because people tend to argue ) But I agree, this is a death knell for flash.


True, although it's not really an direct comparison. iPhone is full product with profit all going to one company (and telcos). Android is an OS that spreads the wealth.

All the same, Flash didn't stand a chance.


Profits to one company has nothing to do with adobe dropping support to all mobile devices, because this isn't just android, it's blackberry's tablet and webos is losing adobe as well.

The story I read said that Adobe is going to keep patching flash for mobile devices just not make a version 12+ for them.
