Well this is just great news.
Adobe Confirms No Flash Support For Jelly Bean. Urges Uninstalling
Quote
Adobe ISSUED the following statement:
“Beginning August 15th we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed..
If a device is upgraded from Android 4.0 to Android 4.1, the current version of Flash Player may exhibit unpredictable behavior, as it is not certified for use with Android 4.1. Future updates to Flash Player will not work. We recommend uninstalling Flash Player on devices which have been upgraded to Android 4.1.”
If the mobile transition from Flash to HTML5 is a SMOOTH one, this hopefully won’t be that big of a deal. But at the same time, it’s pretty crazy that Adobe actually recommends uninstalling Flash if you have Jelly Bean on your device.Stupid move...Yeah, bad move.
Farewell Flash. Welcome HTML5.
Lightspark is a free and open source SWF player released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License ..Hmm, This isn't a great choice, what with the main difference being that while Flash has issues with crashing and stability, HTML5 has the problem where it doesn't work at all.Why Adobe? Why take your OWN platform, and kill it off for mobile devices???
The Lightspark player is completely portable.[5] Lightspark has been successfully built on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) on PowerPC, x86, ARM and AMD64 ARCHITECTURES.[6] Lightspark has a Win32 branch for Microsoft Visual Studio.[7] Lightspark 0.5.3 introduced a Mozilla-compatible plug-in for Windows.

Adobe AIR will still be there and if I understand things right that's what they are beginning to offer to developers. Oracle's taking over the Java development has pushed Adobe to get more aggressive with HTML5. Adobe has also been buying out a lot of companies for their technology. Hopefully it will be a smooth transition but that I think is up to if developers are willing to follow Adobe or turn their attention to Oracle/Java.
Adobe this morning confirmed a ZDNet report that Flash Player would be going the way of the dinosaurs, marking a fairly major shift in the company's mobile strategy. Instead, Adobe will focus on AIR for cross-platform mobile applications, and to ramp up its contributions to HTML5 -- with which it also had been working all along.
Apple fanboy stating how Apple has been right all along. That crap gets really old after a while. I wonder if the Android faithful stalk Apple news boards and chime in on EVERY topic with how Android is better? I doubt it...
Are they working on a new version of flash that will work?
