In November last year, Adobe Systems has announced that it would no longer support Flash on mobile devices. Removing the app from Google Play (formerly Market) is a logical result. The Flash Player is a plug-in that allows multimedia files created with Adobe's Flash Technology.
Users of smartphone and tablets where the Flash Player already installed, the app can continue to use. But upgrading to Android 4.0 - also known as Ice Cream Sandwich - to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the existing version of Flash Player "unpredictable behavior" show, says Adobe. The company advises users in a recent blog, therefore, to the player software to remove devices that have been upgraded to Android 4.1.
Apple liked Flash from the outset not
for iPhone and iPad from Apple Flash from the outset was not available. This was not only to Adobe to Apple, that the development of iOS (formerly iPhone OS) made a fundamental choice for HTML5 as a multimedia platform. Users of Windows Phone had always been set without the Flash Player. There were versions for Blackberry and Symbian OS available.
Adobe Flash stresses that continue to develop for PCs. Users of existing versions of the mobile app to September 2013 can count on security updates.
