It's the end of the road for Adobe Flash on mobiles. Or so, according to an exclusive from ZDNet.
It says Adobe is finally ditching mobile Flash development after years of argument over its merit on handheld devices. The website quotes "sources close to Adobe":
Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer adapt Flash Player for mobile devices to new browser, OS version or device configurations. Some of our source code licensees may opt to continue working on and releasing their own implementations. We will continue to support the current Android and PlayBook configurations with critical bug fixes and security updates.
Apple has been at the forefront of companies refusing to install Flash on its mobile devices, arguing it hogs resources and is only designed to work on PCs.
