 Although Adobe has stopped all new development on the mobile front for Flash , they're keeping their word by rolling out updates to address compatibility and security concerns. . . . → Read More: Adobe Flash and AIR updated, includes compatibility fixes for Ice Cream Sandwich  Adobe’s battles with Apple haven’t exactly been a secret over the past couple of years, but the death of Flash Player for mobile has once again brought that drama to the fore. Mike Chambers, a lead product manager for Flash, took to his personal site today to shed some light on Adobe’s rapid descent, pointing the finger squarely at Apple’s refusal to adopt the player in its mobile OS. He had this to say: This one should be pretty apparent, but given the fragmentation of the mobile market, and the fact that one of the leading mobile platforms (Apple’s iOS) was not going to allow the Flash Player in the browser, the Flash Player was not on track to reach anywhere near the ubiquity of the Flash Player on desktops… . . . → Read More: Adobe product manager fingers Apple for death of Flash Player for mobile Adobe’s battles with Apple haven’t exactly been a secret over the past couple of years, but the death of Flash Player for mobile has once again brought that drama to the fore.

In a statement provided to All Things D yesterday, the BlackBerry manufacturer confirmed that it’s not giving up on the dream just yet, because it’s one of the Flash Player source code licensees that Adobe will continue to support post mortem : “As an Adobe source code licensee, we will continue to work on and release our own implementations. RIM remains committed to delivering an uncompromised Web browsing experience to our customers, including native support for Adobe Flash Player on our BlackBerry PlayBook tablet (similar to a desktop PC browser), as well as HTML5 support on both our BlackBerry smartphone and PlayBook browsers. . . . → Read More: RIM to forge ahead with Flash on the BlackBerry PlayBook, even if it’s dead  Adobe this morning confirmed a ZDNet report that Flash Player would be going the way of the dinosaurs, marking a fairly major shift in the company's mobile strategy. . . . → Read More: Adobe makes it official: Adobe AIR now its focus for mobile, HTML5 takes over the web  We heard the talk and now here’s the confirmation: Flash Player for mobile devices is officially dead. Adobe is reaffirming its commitment “aggressively contribute” to HTML5, a platform with broader support and capabilities than Flash was ever able to deliver.

According to an email reportedly received by the company’s partners, its future work on Flash for cellphones and tablets will focus on enabling developers to “package apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores.” After years of battling with Apple and Steve Jobs over the place of Flash on mobiles it appears the company is ready to lay down its sword, with existing platforms like Android receiving only security updates going forward.
