Adobe Dropping Flash For Mobile Devices

Adobe has confirmed a rumor first reported last night by ZDNet that it is ceasing developing of the Flash Player for mobile devices. In reality the announcement will have little impact on users, but it is getting wide spread press because of the role Flash played in the early days of the smartphone market.

Early in Android’s existence one of the advantages it had over iOS was that it had players for playing Flash video, while the iPhone and iPad could not play Flash video.
