Adobe is predicting that one billion smartphones and tablets will be able to play Flash content by 2015. This comes as the company unveils Flash 11 and Air 3, the later of which is used primarily for iOS devices and both challenging HTML5.
Right now, 200 million smartphones and tablets are Flash enabled. 70 percent of browser games utilize the technology, while 98 percent of desktop computers have Flash installed.
However, Adobe has to deal with the face that IE 10 ‘Metro’ will not have plug-ins, Flash included. “We are going to keep the pace of innovation on Flash,” said the director. “Microsoft was clear that the use case for Flash is on the desktop. Flash will run just fine on the Windows desktop.”
