RIM issues statement on Adobe’s decision to stop developing Flash for the mobile web

November 10, 2011 by Robb Dunewood Leave a Comment

Adobe Systems yesterday announced that it will no longer develop Flash for the mobile web instead focusing on HTML 5 and porting Flash Apps to stand-alone Adobe AIR mobile apps.

One of the big differentiators of the BlackBerry PlayBook from the iPad is its full support of Adobe Flash, so, after yesterday’s Adobe announcement, RIM, issued this statement…

Earlier today (yesterday), Adobe announced plans to stop investing in Flash for mobile browsing. As an Adobe source code licensee, we will continue to work on and release our own implementations. RIM remains committed to delivering an uncompromised web browsing experience to our customers, including native support for Adobe Flash Player on our BlackBerry PlayBook tablet (similar to a desktop PC browser), as well as HTML5 support on both our BlackBerry smartphone and PlayBook browsers. In fact, we are pleased that Adobe will focus more efforts on the opportunities that HTML5 presents for our developers, and shares our commitment to HTML5 as we discussed together at DevCon Americas.
