Thanks for the replies, 7 years later, I am still where I was with flash websites..
Why RIM why.. I was really hoping to be able to watch flash streaming web TV, I checked with Android phone, it works very nice, but I can't seem to give up the e-mail features of BES..
Weren't they developing blackberry service for other phones, whatever happened to that plan?11-26-11 11:24 AM - Adobe will no longer be doing any further work on developing mobile flash. Mobile flash is dead at this point. Devices that already support it can continue to use it, but HTML5 will be what is developed further for mobile.Thanks for the replies, 7 years later, I am still where I was with flash websites..

Adobe kills mobile Flash and cuts 750 staff11-26-11 11:33 AM - If they want to kill flash on mobile devices, they should kill it on desktop, people are with their phones most of the day, unless the sites offer both HTML5 and FLASH for all content, it will not work. People complain about not being able to see their favorite sites.
The only reason they are pushing for this is because they want to control streaming data as well as games. Look at the games on iPhone, they are nothing but crappy flash games, except a few of the goods ones. Same on Android. If those flash games are available online who would pay $.99 for them?
And there are so many websites who offer streaming flash TV. I checked one at a T-Mobile store, and it was very smooth. So the bottom line, if they really kill flash on mobile, they will make a huge mistake. Why can't someone make an app that acts like a browser, you simply type the URL and the player displays the content.. If Windows does not have flash player, you install it and it supports it. 
Should be same on mobile devices.11-26-11 11:42 AM - Most people don't realize this but, flash sucks. I wish they would kill it on PC too(maybe one day). Flash is slow, and a resource hog. Sure android phones "support" it but not very well. Some sites may work perfectly while others are unusable. Flash on my PC annoys me to no end, why would I want it on my mobile device.If they want to kill flash on mobile devices, they should kill it on desktop, people are with their phones most of the day, unless the sites offer both HTML5 and FLASH for all content, it will not work.
