As of now, Adobe has for the most part come around to the same conclusion. You’ll recall that Apple famously snubbed Adobe by deciding not to support Flash in its iOS, instead pinning future development growth on the emerging HTML5 standard for its open, rather than proprietary, development support. Adobe confirmed as much in a blog post today following ZDNet’s scoop that the company was pulling the plug on Flash Player development for browsers on mobile devices. Check it out if so inclined.As HTML5 gradually becomes the standard for mobile content interactivity on the Web, Adobe’s Flash platform is on its way out as a mobile browser experience. They’ve got their HTML5 animation building tool in development and available to play around with (which I have, and I’m enjoying it) called Edge. They are really catering towards ease of development for professionals that already know these scripting languages. This way we see Adobe moving out of that Flash web prison.

As a user, you download the AIR app on your Mac, PC, Android device, Blackberry, or iOS device and then apps run within it. In layman’s terms AIR allows professionals to create applications with different types of code.
“The Adobe® AIR® runtime enables developers to deploy standalone applications built with HTML, JavaScript, ActionScript®, Flex, Adobe Flash® Professional, and Adobe Flash Builder® across platforms and devices - including Android™, BlackBerry®, iOS devices, personal computers, and televisions.” Adobe’s AIR runtime environment has been around for a while now, but recently they have been pushing out mobile apps across various platforms: I despise the idea of being held captive by monopoly companies and I think, Adobe in particular, would benefit from publicly moving into a standards compliant tool, not an add-on to browsers. Their clunky plugins for every desktop web browser give me the corporate-imprisonment-chills. Personally and professionally, I have a distaste for the hold Flash animation has had on web design since the late 90’s. Designers have been at the forefront of these advances and Adobe is not going to passively let their main customer base down. They are transitioning into developing HTML5 animation applications that may help web designers (like myself) develop a product faster. Adobe isn’t going to drop all of their tools and run for the door just yet. We’re seeing the shift to necessity coming slowly, but surely. We will continue to support the current Android and PlayBook configurations with critical bug fixes and security updates.”

Some of our source code licensees may opt to continue working on and releasing their own implementations. We will no longer adapt Flash Player for mobile devices to new browser, OS version or device configurations. “Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. ZDNet got the exclusive announcement from “Sources close to Adobe”: And they all lived happily ever after,” from the biography Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. And Steve Jobs said thank you and Adobe said no, thank you. To illustrate the supposed END of the whole Apple vs Adobe Flash story, “Adobe began building HTML5 development tools, and it charged reasonable prices and built cross platform products and the people rejoiced and Adobe’s death was spared and it lived comfortably for many days next to Apple. A not surprising development as far as Apple has been concerned in the past few years as their iPhone and iPad take hold of the precedent for mobile browsing standards. Adobe is transitioning into HTML5 territory.
