Buh Bye Mobile Flash »
Share:
So much for Apple’s lack of support for Flash in iOS being a disadvantage… Adobe today announced (in a blog post awesomely titled “Flash to Focus on PC Browsing and Mobile Apps; Adobe to More Aggressively Contribute to HTML5”) that they’re dropping Flash for mobile devices:
We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations (chipset, browser, OS version, etc.) following the upcoming release of Flash Player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry PlayBook.
As Gruber says:
Apple didn’t win. Everybody won. Flash hasn’t been superseded in mobile by any sort of Apple technology. It’s been superseded by truly open web technologies. Dumping Flash will make Android better, it will make BlackBerrys better, it will make the entire web better. iOS users have been benefitting from this ever since day one, in June 2007.
At least now the whining can finally stop. Buh. Bye.
