Adobe recently announced that it is going to discontinue Flash for the mobile browser. Danny Winokur of Adobe went on to confirm the news to ZDNet.
One of the Adobe’s conversations blogs read –
Flash to Focus on PC Browsing and Mobile Apps; Adobe to More Aggressively Contribute to HTML5.
The announcement, however, does not say anything about the unsatisfactory performance of Flash on different mobile browsers. It instead stated that HTML5 is increasingly becoming more and more capable of doing what Flash was capable of. The latter statement is very true, but the fact also remains that Flash enabled phones have showed degraded performance after the different plug-ins installations.
Adobe will be anyway continue working on their cross compiler that helps Flash developers to make native applications that run on different iOS devices. So, it finally proves that Steve Jobs made the right decision of not including Adobe Flash in Apple devices.
