Adobe Company has finally stopped the development of mobile browser version of flash. The reason explained by the professionals of Adobe Company was that the health of entire Flash system is in doubt presently.
According to a statement made by the company officials, Flash player 1.1 would be the last version of Flash developed for the mobile devices. The company also promised to fix the critical bugs related to the Flash players in the mobile devices. The company is now planning to abandon the Flash on the connected TVs.
The company officials also said that the decision to stop the developing the Flash players for mobile devices is a part of the strategic change in the company. The company now is planning to focus on HTML5 and some other services like the Adobe creative Cloud.
When asked for the specific reasons, the company officials gave five reasons for this decision-
First reason given by the company officials was targeted to the iOS and Apple devices. As per the statement of the company officials Flash would never gain ubiquity on the mobile devices. They further added that Apple determinedly refused to adopt adobe flash on their devices like iPhone and iPad.
Next reason was quite relevant to the first one. Adobe is not ubiquitous on the other hand HTML5 is ubiquitous. The mobile devices support HTML in a similar way as the desktops support Flash Player.
Surfing the content on mobile devices is not as comfortable as it is on the desktop screen. The latency to the wireless networks and different screen sizes are some considerable reasons for this. One more reason is that the apps for the desktop are available ubiquitously but not for the mobile devices.
Next reason is that, developing the browser plugins in desktop is much easier than doing on the mobile device. Developing the browser plugin for mobile needs some good partnerships with the component manufacturers, hardware manufacturers and operating system developers. In short developing the Flash player for mobile devices need much more resources than anybody can anticipate.
Adobe Company now wants to drop the Flash for mobile devices and shift to HMTL 5. The company officials further said that the HTML5 will take over the functionality of Flash soon.
The Adobe officials further stated that is the Flash feature becomes successful it may be integrated eventually into the browser and users can access it comfortably via the browser. According to them CSS3 and HTML5 still have a long way to go to get as ubiquitous as that of the Flash Player.
Soon HTML5 will become accessible and all the utilities that users used to do with the Flash earlier would be possible done with the HTML5 and CSS 3 now.
