Adobe today officially announced that they were canning Flash player for mobile browsers, essentially surrendering the mobile space to HTML5. They will drop an estimated 750 jobs and choose to instead focus on Flash Player 12 for computers instead.
“We are super excited about the next generations of HTML5 and Flash,” said Danny Winokur, Vice President & General Manager, Interactive Development at Adobe. “Together they offer developers and content publishers great options for delivering compelling web and application experiences across PCs and devices. There is already amazing work being done that is pushing the newest boundaries, and we can’t wait to see what is still yet to come!”
