        This is very unfortunately disappointing esp for those apps that requires flash support compatibilities and the like. This may be one of the weak spots of the giant (android) once this takes place.

                            Hopefully there will be some workaround, because not having flash player pretty sucks.

                              Oh why... Gues how many people (including this site will have to update):

                              ALL spin 360° sites state Flash plugin is required:
                               
                              :( STUPID ADOBE

                              Drag to rotate, double-click to spin 360°.
                              In order to see the 360° rotation the Flash plugin is required.

                                  Oh Lord... why is Adobe wanting to stop supporting Android?? They should at least wait for HTML5 to actually become more widely used. I mean... today there are many more Flash applications than HTML5 applications! Now Android's web functionality will be diminished dramatically! Oh well I'll just have to live with it from now on; no more porn :(

Heard of the iPhone? Did you notice the hugely anticipated and hyped release of the iPhone 4S last year? Well that had 2 cores! How can you possibly forget that?

                                        What an absolutely stupid thing to do which now rules out be buying any more Android devices. Who uses HTML-5 other than YouTube where it is buggy and slow? No one, therefore why in God's name would you take out Flash? I can't comprehend this - it doesn't save money, it doesn't make Android any more attractive, it's just annoying. It's like saying "You know what, I think we'll get rid of Facebook compatibility because we feel like it". Stupid, stupid Google.
