In an exclusive yesterday, Jason Perlow of ZDnet.com reports that “Adobe has briefed developers on the impending cessation of mobile flash browser plugin development.”
“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.”
