Anytime someone dares me to walk a mile in their shoes I do it! Because, hey free shoes and I am now a mile away from that person!

11-09-2011 08:00 AMFlash is a plugin. So in order to use it you have to have it. With HTML5 it would just be there. No need to go and download anything else.
Flash can be resource heavy and prone to security issues.

11-09-2011 08:03 AMyeah, the security issues I am sure were a pretty big factor in the decision. Originally Posted by tjk629

11-09-2011 08:08 AMA lot of sites don't use HTML5, which is a huge drawback personally. I'm saving the Flash APK for future use. Originally Posted by tjk629

11-09-2011 08:15 AMThe article states that the existing plugins for the Android and BlackBerry platforms will be given bug fixes and security updates, but further development will end. Does this have any ramifications for Ice Cream Sandwich? Will ICS and subsequent versions no longer be compatible with Flash?

11-09-2011 08:17 AMI think within a year it simply won't matter as most major sites will move to HTML5... maybe I'm wrong, but that's the feeling I get - especially now after Adobe's announcing this.
