The Death Of Flash

Well we've now got sad news that flash is now being pulled from future android devices and mobiles all together. Apple fanboys will be gloating how they've got rid of flash on mobile devices and they'll be saying HTML5 has and will be always be faster than flash, Which i actually agree on, Flash is kind of laggy on devices and has never really run properly ever on little handheld devices and all i say is Good riddance.

It's been a full year since Adobe announced that Ice cream sandwich was going to be the last version of android they were going to develop. With last year's quote ' They want to concentrate on making the desktop and laptop a more stronger and robust area for flash. When steve jobs said 'You don't need a computer that runs flash, all you need is a Great webkit and you've got yourself a winner, and instead of flash, we are going to intergrate HTML5 into our web browser...safari' - I'm just paraphrasing here but i'm sure steve jobs said it somewhere in his life.

Flash doesn't even come pre-installed in Mac OSX anymore, so apple with all the money that they've got are pretty confident that they've picked a winner with HTML5 and now it's beginning to show. I've got to admit when i was playing YouTube videos on the mac, it became dramatically slow but the flash experience on a PC is much more elegant and fleunt, sure you've got your hiccups from time to time but overall Flash experience on a PC is much more reliable than Flash running on the mac

Some websites are saying that the Pulling off flash will happen August 15th, which is today and we've yet to see the change of what it will do to the technology industry as we know it. What i was thinking while i was writing this was why does there always seem to be a death around this time, Last year it was Webos and we all know what happened of the cause of that...TOUCHPAD FIRE SALE which i was lucky to snatch up for the price they were going for.

This isn't the death of adobe programs, you'll still be getting Programs like Photoshop elements and Adobe air so it's not a full exit from adobe, they are just cutting out the products that don't work on mobile devices.

Thanks for reading
