That's not all, though: it's been confirmed that Adobe's Flash plug-in won't be supported in the upcoming Android OS update, Jelly Bean, meaning pages, banners, and games written in Flash may not load properly when viewed on a device running Jelly Bean.
Abode said that the required certification of each Flash Player implementation by each separate partner program for Android means that Flash doesn't always work on every device, and, thus, fragmentation ensues.
As a result, Adobe is looking to drop Flash support for Android devices altogether. However, if you own a device that currently has Flash installed on it, you will continue to receive security patches for it.
The maker of Photoshop and Dreamweaver warns that if you upgrade your device to Jelly Bean but don't uninstall Flash, it may "exhibit unpredictable behavior", as 4.1 Flash simply isn't supported.
Is this such a big deal, then? Well, Apple's mobile devices have never supported Flash content, and they've got by just fine, with The Big A preferring to focus on supporting web standards such as HTML5 on its iPhone and iPad platforms, instead.

Good just desktops and laptops to go now and we'll finally be free of it, and I say that as an action script programmer. The web's being applified who wants to consume content inside a browser window when they can view it natively in full screen, why run an app inside app inside another app (swf inside the flash player inside the browser) when again you can run it natively at full speed.With the applification of the web Ive come to regard web pages as an interactive books magazines or TV programs, not a replacement for applications. As a consumer and web developer all I really need is the ability to play video, play sound, interact and move things around with some tradition effects and do a few neat tricks HTML 5 gives me all of that without constant updates and security patches and from a developers perspective having to worry if the user has the latest version installed.
The sooner we abolish browser plug ins in general the better !

Ok but I just got a new Android phone and I can't use anything! I tried to listen to radio online and it says I need flash. What can replace it? Also I can't watch Netflix because I need Gooogle Chrome and it will not download.
