Interesting article. I really don't understand what these mobile phones and tablet makers are up-to. Apple dropped YouTube from its up coming iPhone, now Android without flash? I agree that HTML5 is good, but what about some/those applications that requires Flash plug-in etc.?
Not a big problem for me, since I use virtual desktop on my lovely Android. Therefore, I can even use Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X Mountain Lion, etc etc what not. I can always log-in to my Virtual desktop on my Android which is just a "double click" away to access this Adobe flash utility on my Windows 7 ;-)
Now don't be jealous. Here's in informative article - you can learn more about the dozen of benefits that virtual desktop (aka. Desktop-as-a-Service) has to offer.

It will be better if they will stop developing and drop the flash on all the platforms and on all the internet, and begin with the HTML5. Flash it's really awful, it slow the browsers, if you got a old pc the browser crash,etc. HTML5 is better than flash.

Sure flash isn't perfect (can be clunky and slow) but there will be sites for years to come that still use flash.

One plugin for all was actually better than every computer or phone os, and every different webbrowser..., implement their own versions of different versions/developments of html5!
HTML5 can not handle everything Adobe Flash can handle, and I think html5 never will be able to handle everything Adobe Flash can handle today! HTML5 is actually so bad that it can not compete with Adobe Flash, and that is the worst reason for removing Adobe Flash, kill the better competitor, because if html5 was so good as everyone say it is, then every webpage... would already today use it!

On Gingerbread every Android could easily play Adobe Flash, and with faster cpu and more ram every new Android could easily play Adobe Flash even on ICS, so it is totally stupid to remove Adobe Flash today when every Android easily can play flash, even though Google tried to kill the performance of Adobe Flash on ICS and not make it possible to use at all in Chrome and removes built in support from Jelly Bean! HTML5 is far worse than Adobe Flash, try to play online games using html5 and try streaming full HD movies in fullscreen using html5! HTML5 is simply not ready yet to replace Adobe Flash, so Adobe should have waited another year or two before removing it, and even then they should leave it in Google Play together with a note that it is free to download but Adobe will not update it anymore! Adobe Flash is one of the most installed of all apps in Google Play, and removing it only makes more open their eyes to other ways than Google Play to find and install apps and games!

"stability, user experience and battery life"
I thought it was more "locking out the primary delivery mechanism of free games that would undermine our app store business model".
Ultimately inevitable, and I'm no great fan of Flash, but still a bit of a shame. Note that their "no new updates" policy should be overridden by any security holes found - which there are bound to be.

HTML5 may u live a short life cause Flash is much better than you, and was only killed by stupid Apple.
Btw, flash will continue to be supported on desktops cause HTML5 is buggy, and android chrome did not support flash cause it came out too late after adobe announcement so gsmarena get ur facts straight
