After a long era of the debates about which is better: Flash or HTML5, Adobe finally announces the culmination of the Flash version for mobiles. Adobe developer relations lead Mike Chambers announces that Flash Player 11.1 would be the last version of Flash for mobile devices, though the company would continue to fix critical bugs. The company is also stopping the development of Flash for connected TVs.
“The decision to stop development of the Flash Player plugin for mobile browsers was part of a larger strategic shift at Adobe,” writes Chambers. “One which includes a greater shift in focus toward HTML5, as well as the Adobe Creative Cloud and the services that it provides.” Chambers has stated five main reasons why Adobe decided that its resources were better spent elsewhere.
Coming to the implications of this for HTML5, HTML5 will now, undoubtedly, be the ruler in the world of videos, especially the mobile browser ones. There is no need for extensive integration of Flash with the browser now, with HTML5 in the picture now, everything will be neatly handled only in the browser.
