Adobe kills Flash for mobile

Steve Jobs was right. Adobe has finally realized what a dog Flash is for mobile devices.

Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations. [...]

HTML5 is now universally supported on major mobile devices, in some cases exclusively.  This makes HTML5 the best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across mobile platforms.

Kudos to Adobe for choosing the HTML5 path.
