Flash Player Left Android Mobile

RealPlayer has just returned for Android, while flash player has left.How much further will it go on?

As a cross-platform, browser-based application runtime, Adobe Flash player provides uncompromised viewing of expressive applications, content, and videos, content, and videos across browsers and operating systems. It can be used for viewing multimedia, Rich Internet Applications, and streaming video and audio, on a computer web browser or mobile devices.

But the application in mobile devices came to the end after Apple refused to allow the Flash Player within the inbuilt iOS web browser. About a week ago on August 15th, Adobe Systems officially declared no flash player for portable android devices anymore. Actually, Adobe has already made decision not to develop flash player for web on mobile.

Adobe flash player and android 

Adobe once tried hard for portable devices, but was banned by Apple. Adobe will block new installs of Flash on Android, essentially removing its presence from the mobile world. People say that Adobe would have turned its purpose on Android, but never effectively marketed its integration features with Google’s popular mobile OS. iOS never stands behind it as Steve Jobs expressed in April 2010: iPhone, iPod and iPad would never have flash player found.

Is the era of html 5 for mobile coming as flash player die away? On another hand, the exit of mobile field of flash player actually means to give up a greater market-85% Android OS of the whole mobile market.

Android 4.1 does not allow installation of flash player, and now it’s official. From then on, Adobe will disable all new installs of Flash player for Android. However, this never means this software or flash would disappear from people’s life. As a matter of fact, it still owns great advances over other player in the PC world-Google’s Chrome support it, by the way. Windows 8 from Microsoft still has built-in flash player since html 5 is not stable enough for the market. With all these changes in the internet world and portable devices, I wonder how long can flash last?
