Jobs was right: at the mobile Flesch has no future

According to the newsletter, which on Tuesday was conducted by its partners Adobe, further work on Flash Player for mobile browsers will soon be discontinued.

To ZDNet, first told about the contents of the letter from Adobe, reported that the company will no longer adapt Flash Player for mobile new versions of browsers, operating systems and configurations. Instead, Adobe will focus on alternative solutions, including HTML5.

In the past, Adobe has released a tool to create a single platform for developers, due to which it became possible to create cross-platform applications for Android, iOS and BlackBerry OS. Although initially it seemed a good solution in the future, developers are faced with the problem of application performance when porting to the native language of the operating system.

This step indicates that the company, as long advocated its technology yet surrendered. Despite the enormous popularity of the Flash, many large companies such as Apple, complained about its instability in the mobile browser and high power consumption.

Flash has become the dominant platform for the desktop, enabling developers to create games, animated ads, and view videos in any browser plugin installed. However, with the development of JavaScript, CSS and HTML5, many refuse to use Flash to develop.

One of the most ardent opponents of Flash has become Steve Jobs. In his remarks, he called her last technology. Jobs and Apple is not so fond of this platform, which abandoned its use in all iOS devices. Despite attempts to bring to life Flash, Adobe could not imagine a stable working version for smartphones and tablets. It is worth remembering that Adobe also had a reduction in staff by 750 jobs, calling it "corporate restructuring".
