Adobe今日宣布裁员750名，之后有消息传来，公司已经打算放弃Google Android和黑莓PlayBook平台的移动浏览器Flash插件的发展。
Adobe内部知情人士透露称，公司将不再让Flash Player支持新的移动设备，今后的工作重点将转移到Adobe AIR上，而对于已经发布的移动版Flash产品，公司将继续提供关键错误修复和安全更新。
这意味着Adobe在移动平台上进行的尝试完全失败，之前Adobe在黑莓与Android平台上曾发布相关Flash移动产品，而苹果一直拒绝其进入iOS系统，理由是性能过于低下。


接下来Adobe将重点投资的项目:
移动应用
快捷桌面内容(浏览器内外)
HTML5

当我们看到HTML5字样的时候，一切就都好解释了

走爱泼猴的路，让爱泼猴无路可走！

flash这么快就成昨日黄花了

flash这么高的普及量就放弃了?

什么？不做了？

前几日还有安得猴牛逼哄哄的吹flash呢，这就不做了？

明日黄花。

Adobe giving up on mobile Flash

The Flash mobile plug-in offered Android tablets a feature missing from Apple's iPad
Software developer Adobe Systems is halting development of its Flash Player plug-in for mobile devices.

The multimedia software is used to run movies, games and other applications.

Adobe says it now believes the alternative HTML 5 technology offers the "best solution" because it is "universally supported".

The Flash plug-in works on Android devices and Blackberry's Playbook tablet, but Apple barred it from iPhones and iPads.

"We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations (chipset, browser, OS version, etc) following the upcoming release of Flash Player 11.1 for Android and Blackberry Playbook," a statement published on Adobe's blog says.

"We will of course continue to provide critical bug fixes and security updates for existing device configurations."

Adobe adds that it will still support third party Flash developers who use its Air product to package their software for various app stores.

Criticised

In April 2010 Apple's late former chief executive, Steve Jobs, attacked Flash's mobile plug-in for being unreliable, a security threat and a drain on battery life.

Adobe responded shortly after saying the plug-in would "continue to be the dominant tool" for media on the internet.

However, reviewers criticised its performance on other devices, and in September Microsoft also announced it would not support the product on the tablet interface of its upcoming Windows 8 browser.

"It was a battery hog and cumbersome - those are two negative things to have on a mobile device," said Colin Gillis, senior tech analyst at BGC Partners.

"Steve Jobs helped shift the whole industry to HTML 5, and 40 million iPads later it turned out that Flash wasn't a selling point as many supposed."

Job cuts

The news comes a day after Adobe revealed plans to axe 750 posts as part of an effort to place more focus on digital media and digital marketing.

The cuts are being made in Europe and North America and represent more than 7% of the company's workforce.

The news was timed to coincide with its annual analysts' meeting.

"It will affect their revenues, but not by a huge amount. The Flash player for mobile is a product that is either given away for free or given away to device makers for a small royalty," said Chris Green, technology analyst at Davies Murphy Group Europe.

"The real money is for the server technology. Adobe charges thousands of dollars per licence. However, since so much of our internet use is now on mobile devices, it does questions the long-term viability of Flash full stop."
