#Android phone browser with flash player for android#

We are excited about this, and will continue our work with key players in the HTML community, including Google, Apple, Microsoft and RIM, to drive HTML5 innovation they can use to advance their mobile browsers.” The upcoming release of Flash Player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry Playbook will be its final release, though Adobe state they are committed to providing bug fixes and security updates for existing devices. This makes HTML5 the best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across mobile platforms. The rumor was confirmed this morning in a blog post on the Adobe website, which goes into some detail about why this decision was made “ HTML5 is now universally supported on major mobile devices, in some cases exclusively. What’s more, the company would be refocusing its efforts in the mobile space on HTML5.

Wired is reporting that an e-mail was sent out on Tuesday night letting Adobe’s partners know that the company would soon cease developing it’s Flash Player plug-in for mobile browsers. Now however, it seems as though Jobs is having the last laugh. When Steve Jobs (may he rest in peace) proclaimed that HTML5 would win out over Flash in the end, the very notion seemed laughable. In fact, it seems fairly safe to say that Adobe Flash (or as it was known prior to 2005, Macromedia Flash) single-handedly made things like videos, animations, and browser-based gaming on the internet possible – or at the very least, accessible. As anyone who has ever used the internet will tell you, Flash has been a pretty big deal.
