![]() RIM's decision not to install it by default on its BB7 devices last year didn't help and its PlayBook tablet, for which it claimed that being able to run it was a key element in web browsing. The idea that being able to run Flash is a key differentiator for Android has suddenly gone away: upcoming devices will be on parity with iOS ones in that regard, and given the astonishing growth of Android activations (presently one million per day), Flash installations will diminish as a share of mobile share very quickly. Given that smartphones and tablets now outsell PCs by a substantial margin, of about 50% - around 150m per quarter compared to 100m at most - the decision renews the question of how much longer Flash on the desktop will survive.įor mobiles, it won't be installed onto the just-announced Android 4.1 (aka "Jelly Bean"), and Adobe says that while Flash Player might work on the platform, it also might "exhibit unpredictable behaviour". It's a logical conclusion to the process that Adobe announced in November 2011, when it said that it would no longer be updating Flash Player for new devices, apart from bug fixes and security updates effectively, Flash on mobile was a zombie from that point on.
