totally, that's why i've been learning haxe for ages :) i'm still dissapointed that adobe have pulled away from supporting flash on mobile devices though, as andriods market share increased the more positive i was about flash on mobiles. if it got to the point that the majority of the people using tablets and smartphones were running android and thus the majority of people on the mobile web could run flash then perhaps MS and apple would have had to rethink a bit in regards to flash.
still it's going to be funny when ads start being made predominently in HTML5 and they start crashing the */&% out of mobile browsers by being poorly made processor hogging monsters, and it not being a plug in means it can't be blocked etc. On 9 November 2011 17:07, Paul Andrews <[email protected]> wrote: > On 09/11/2011 15:33, tom rhodes wrote: > >> well, that's all well and good saying it seems silly, but the internet >> browsed from a desktop machine will rapidly become the minority of the >> internet userbase. >> > That's a way off yet. > > >> so then what? adobe has a browser plugin that's selling point is 99% >> penetration. well they can't say that anymore seeing as they are >> abandoning >> flash as a mobile platform. so it becomes 99% of desktop computers. not >> exactly great if desktop users make up less than half of the target >> audience... >> > > For one platform they have no choice and for another platform they have no > choice for the most popular browser, so the fragmentation isn't down to > them. > > The world doesn't stand still. > > >> On 9 November 2011 16:19, Paul Andrews<[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On 09/11/2011 14:39, Henrik Andersson wrote: >>> >>> I see no reason why flash 11 would be the last player version.
