Adobe Abandons Flash For Android

Logo via: GadgetUniversity
I remember how Apple haters laughed at the iPhone because it didn't, or wouldn't support Adobe's Flash Player.

They immediately cited and bragged that Flash was one of the main reasons on why, for example, that Android phones where so much better than the iPhone, and they mocked non-stop how the iSheep where being blindly led astray by their lord and god, Steve Jobs.

Of course, what they didn't bother to brag about, of course, was how Flash made their phones oh so much slower, buggier and, more importantly, on how much more insecure than the iPhone. And, you know what? ... I bet you the old proverbial arm-and-a-leg that they won't be bragging about this little announcement  by Adobe themselves that they are totally discontinuing future Flash updates, and yes, that means that Android's latest and greatest, Jelly Bean, won't be getting it..... EVER!

If you want to install older, buggier versions of Flash on older version of Android, well your welcome to it, but just don't expect to get any help from Adobe. After fighting and losing a long battle with Apple, Adobe has now seen the light and has now fully embraced the newer and better technology of HMTL 5.

In conclusion, Adobe's decision to abandon its antiquated technology for the newer, faster, more open, and much more secure HMTL 5 standard is a good thing, and as far as this old cookie is concerned, Flash was nothing but a piece of trash and like all trash it's finally time to get rid of it once and for all. Good riddance I say.








And that's my 2 cents 4 this cloudy, but otherwise nice Friday, June 29, 2012
