So i just saw that flash will no longer support after 4.0.x versions. My question is ... what will happen to android ? I know google chrome for android exists (ironically its for android 4+ lol) and i dont know if it has integrated flash player like pc chrome does. My question is ... what will happen to flashes in browsers. Is there going to be new browser which allows flashes to be played like with AFP but not actually using it or something.
 
HTML5, its what apple uses[they don't support flash], set user agent to apple ipod in dolphin hd, flash is dead for everyone. your a dollar short today
 
As 350X posted, mobile Flash basically dead. Apple started it, Adobe no longer support it. Android 4+ doesn't have it. Most video sites work just fine when using a mobile device that doesn't have Flash, either just by going to the site or by using an app.
 
most sites will be moving to HTML5

once android drops Flash..and since apple does not support flash. that means 95% of all mobile devices will use HTML5. if a site wants to draw mobile device users... what do you think they will do???
 
apple wins its small wars here and there, if SJ had died sooner, flash may have lived on as id bet they would have given it support with time. but hindsight is 20/20 don't think they can reverse the end of it.
 
HTML5 is supported on almost any browser. Android browsers since like 1.5 I think supported BOTH Flash and HTML5. Now they'll just have no use for Flash anymore.

I believe the stock browser in 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 does HTML5 OK. And even if they don't, you can always install a browser that does, like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc. Anyway there's many Android devices that don't have Flash, I believe Windows Phone 8 doesn't have Flash either.

Seems just about all the major video sites have dumped the Flash requirement, when viewing them on a mobile OS. I think they started this a while ago, once iOS became very popular.
