Adobe ditches Flash for mobile devices

In what you might call a backend bombshell, Adobe this week revealed plans to ditch Flash for mobile devices, and instead focus on HTML5 and Adobe AIR.

Who cares?

For one, ?those [people] whose job it is to market and sell Android tablets,? writes AllThingsD. ?Flash support has been one of the key advantages that aspiring iPad competitors have used to tout their devices.?

?Adobe will have a PR nightmare on its hands trying to convince its three million Flash developers to scrap projects in Flash and move to HTML5,? notes ReadWriteWeb, citing comments from Carlos Icaza, a former manager and engineer of Flash at Adobe.
