Adobe announces the end of Mobile Flash Player

This year seems to be a turning point for mobile technology, in particular, if RIM is affected. They announced the transition to BBX, the next generation of BlackBerry software. RIM killed Java development for future BlackBerry devices. RIM has built an entirely new development platform for their mobile devices. RIM created and provided to the Playbook OS with Adobe Flash and AIR. Now Adobe has forced another change on RIM and there is concern that last point that I made just about RIM this year.

Adobe has announced that development is dead for Flash Player for mobile devices. This means that BlackBerry smartphones will never see the Flash player, that they waited on for years. This also means that some of the latest BlackBerry playbook software must be redesigned. Many functions and applications such as Adobe Flash and AIR. With Flash from the picture, RIM will have until the middle of the square playbook more about AIR and the NDK, while phasing out the use of portions of the flash. Adobe has stated that it continues to security updates for Flash Player for both the playbook and Android devices problem, but any further development of the Flash Platform is dead.

While this is bad news for RIM, it is also good because RIM is listed on the front edge of HTML5 development. HTML5 is a relatively new Web standard, that the vast majority of Web-as begun to adopt. Adobe has stated that to move them to continue their efforts to HTML5, and Adobe is moving this direction, there is virtually nothing to be major players, to plan the Flash support. RIM has to develop and implement an excellent HTML5 rendering engine for BlackBerry 6, and now that Flash support is dead, RIM may further refine that HTML5 experience to out-browsing on the BlackBerry the best mobile browsing experience.
