    Dear Windows Fan Boy, I have an optimus 4x, which is a quad core, and I can reproduce Flash videos perfectly well. Thank you for your concern.

      this is just an tehcnology evolution. Flash will soon die their own and HTML5 will rise, Android or IOS or WP8 will continue their fight with HTML5.. it is time we start to use HTML5, let the flash die it own ;)

        Why take it down from Play Store? There are still a large number of Android phones are still on Gingerbread and may not get ICS.

              Apple saw it coming first?????
              What kind of biased bs is that????????????
              They all knew it was coming. Android just gave us what was available as long as it was available. UHDUH!
              Now we will have html5. Never the less while flash was around we had it. Adobe is themselves cant update properly anyway.

                      I hate to see Flash slowly fade away. I love flash.

                      I have seen plently beautiful sites all attributed to Flash. And the things is that support for HMTL 5 is not there yet (especially on the mobile platform).

                      We shall miss you Flash..

                        This is offically the stupidest move ever made!
                        Hopefully google actually write flash software. Please google write your own flash software ( on knees begging)

                          I'm an android phone user with GB and I don't use flash at all. If I want to watch a YT video, I go to the preinstalled app, which needs no flash to run. I prefer the apo than the web because it loads faster. And lets face it, the 3D rotate, for example, in gsmarena on a smartphone is buggy (it keeps rotating way fast with a click). For the flash games, there are many other non-flash games to download and enjoy. Thats only my opinion :)

                            What a coincidence - I just sent an hour back to Google & Motorola to ask about this abandoned child since Adobe has put the ball in their court. I think I'll stick with present version and not try to update as this will ruin the status quo which is running ok .. as of now.

                              Android OS is moving backward, a decision that will kill its popularity. Jelly beans is a downgrade if this is the case!

                                We all know Flash is a Dying Technology and HTML5 is the futire so why not support that Instead of Crying for Flash not being there...No Wonder Apple Rejects then all the time Flash Players sucks and drains Battery, decreases performance and crashes the OS so often ...As long as it existed fine we all enjoyed...but no more...its all GTML5 no flash ...I am so glad N7 does not ship with one neither it is supported ....I am Game with his Approach from Google...

                                    Ref.: "It's just that Apple was the first to point this out."

                                    Now, there is a difference in not supporting a technology from the very beginning (Apple) and letting an old technology behind. Apple wasn't the first to point it out, they just never supported Flash in first place. Why you give Apple credit for it's ignorance is rather beyond me!
