Flash can be downloaded and installed on Jellybean. Sure it doesn't come standard anymore, but it works just fine. Android is far from a flash free platform.

Flash can be downloaded and installed on Jellybean. Sure it doesn't come standard anymore, but it works just fine. Android is far from a flash free platform. In fact I'd say its still the superior mobile flash platform.
Its kind of crazy to me Google doesnt include Flash with jellybean when it works just fine. I'm all for killing flash asap, I hate it... but when it works... why deprive people of that bullet point feature?
Either way, its beyond false to call Android (even jellybean) a "flash free platform". You have to download and install flash on a desktop computer, just like you have to download and install Flash on Jellybean. Still works like a dream though.

So while sideloading it might work for now, most people probably won't bother. And sooner or later it's going to break, anyway. Meaning anyone who's looking to support a mobile browsing experience on Android needs be thinking of it as a Flash-free zone, on pain of being alienated from their userbase.
