p.1 #1 · Flash is dead... stick a fork in it.

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/11/adobe-kills-mobile-flash/

Adobe has killed Flash development on mobile devices.

Can't say we didn't see this coming, but all the people who kept clinging on to Flash, might want to re-think things now.

Flash heavy sites always were annoying anyway, I felt. Met very few I enjoyed. (now it was a useful tool for displaying images in some instances)

HTML5 will have what you need now. . .

Only if you're a total Apple fanboy. For everyone sensible, the world just moved on, as it does.

Statistics I saw indicated that Flash is still resident on 98% of computers, and not everyone on the web is going to rush out an have a new website designed by the hottest HTML5 coders right away.

HTML5 will replace Flash the way fuel injection replaced carburetors. It's "under the hood" for users, not a priority.
