Adobe Flash Mobile

A real Caporetto for Flash, which now seems about to disappear on almost all platforms. After last Wednesday it was rumored that support for Flash Player Mobile will end soon, smart TV now also have added to the list of devices that will soon have to tack on the new HTML5 language or the Adobe AIR framework. This is a very bad blow to the hopes of Google TV, which bases much of its services on Flash.

If the computers at the time, Adobe did not intend to back down, on almost all other devices with Flash technology may soon become an old story. Even on smart TV, in which the market had placed a certain Adobe, though not excessive, attention. Obviously, the American company has no plans to drop all licenses signed so far, but it is clear the intent of allowing developers to create new TV channels to go through without Flash. This, in many ways, will enable a greater chance of creating universal applications that can run on multiple operating systems (the market much more fragmented than it is on TV on smartphones and tablets).

A Mountain View, however, can not be pleased by the turn events are taking. Google has recently launched the second version of its operating system for television and the choice of Adobe threatens almost to pass over a piece of software that actually is yet to come on the market. We’ll see how the Big G ??will react to this change in business strategy.
