People act as if flash is being abandoned. Its not. Mobile Flash is. Several new smart-phones and tablets nowadays use browsers with REAL FLASH on it, so there is no need to continue development on mobile flash. That's all that happened. No big win for anyone.
Adobe has been focusing on html5, as have the rest of the web, and imho, Adobe has some great tools to author content in html5 already.
- joshtynjala 15y agoYou're thinking of Flash Lite, but that's not what everyone is freaking out about. Adobe has, in fact, stopped development of the exact "REAL" Flash Player for mobile (tablet and smartphone) browsers that you refer to.
- notatoad 15y agoflash has been abandoned. developers won't (or at least shouldn't) use a closed platform whose developer has expressed a lack of faith in it. even though flash will still be developed for x86, it's clear that adobe is getting ready to drop it. and yeah, this announcement is about mobile flash, as used on android phones, not about flash lite. that's been dead for years.
