Adobe Flash on Android Dead (nearly)

[avec]

I think the only thing I use flash for is watching streams (twitch/own3d). I would certainly miss that.

Can't wait to see the Apple fanboys cooing over the fact that Android is Flash-less as well now

I think its better to be droping Flash now, when Android first got flash there was only a very small amout of websites using html5.

they've said they will continue to provide updates

Although Adobe is no longer actively developing the player for Android, Blackberry or Symbian devices - and never released it for Apple iOS or Windows Phone handsets - it has said it would continue to offer security updates and bug fixes for existing versions until September 2013.

Oh my bad!

Could have sworn they said they would no longer continue supporting the app and that it would be removed from the market.

Well I can't install it from the market on my phone (GS3 with custom JB rom) I've tried installing an .apk from earlier but it just doesn't work, tv catchup goes black and then force closes along with iplayer app and any browser based flash stuff.

Youtube works stand alone though.

New installs have been removed from the market, If you already have it installed then you will get updates.

Flash can work on JB but it is a bit hit & miss. Have a look around XDA

For TVcatchup just use the app from here:
