We will continue to support the current Android and PlayBook configurations with critical bug fixes and security updates.”</p> <p>Instead, Adobe will focus on tools that allow Flash developers to create mobile apps by packaging their code to run on Adobe’s AIR platform, according to the report.</p> <p>Adobe representatives were not immediately available for comment.</p> <p>The move, if true, would be a major blow to Android device makers, who have long touted Flash compatibility as a key competitive advantage over Apple’s iPhone and iPad.</p> <p>It would also mark a posthumous vindication for former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who took a controversial stand by not supporting Flash on Apple’s mobile products.</p> <p>Although Adobe managed to get Flash running on Android devices, as well as the PlayBook, the performance was typically slow and inconsistent even on devices that supported it.</p> <p>The move comes amid a broader restructuring at Adobe, which announced earlier on Tuesday that it was <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/20111108/adobe-eliminates-750-jobs-in-restructuring/">cutting 750 jobs</a> and resorting its priorities.</p> <p>Adobe didn’t specifically call out this move, though it did say it was increasing its investment in HTML5, and “focusing Flash resources on delivering the most advanced PC web experiences, including gaming and premium video, as well as mobile apps.”</p> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> <div class="article-footer clearfix"> <p class="article-tags">Tagged with: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/adobe/">Adobe</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/android/" class="topictag">Android</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/blackberry/" class="topictag">Blackberry</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/flash/">Flash</a>, Flash Lite, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/ios/">iOS</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/ipad/" class="topictag">iPad</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/iphone/" class="topictag">iPhone</a>, mobile Flash, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/playbook/">PlayBook</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/research-in-motion/">Research In Motion</a>, smaertphones, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/steve-jobs/" class="topictag">Steve Jobs</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/tag/tablets/">tablets</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="article-related clearfix"> <div class="ads-msn-post"> <script type="text/javascript">  </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643js_/http://adsyndication.msn.com/delivery/getads.js"></script> </div> <hr/> <script type="text/JavaScript"> var OB_permalink= 'https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/20111108/gone-in-a-flash-adobe-said-halting-development-on-mobile-version-of-its-plug-in/'; var OB_Template="AllThingsD"; var OB_widgetId= 'AR_2'; var OB_langJS ='https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://widgets.outbrain.com/lang_en.js'; if ( typeof(OB_Script)!='undefined' ) OutbrainStart(); else { var OB_Script = true; var str = "<script src='https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://widgets.outbrain.com/outbrainWidget.js'; type='text/javascript'></"+"script>"; document.write(str); } </script> </div> <div class="article-comments" id="article-comments"> <h2><span></span> comments so far. <a href="#dsq-form-area">Add yours.</a></h2> </div>  <div id="disqus_thread"> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ var disqus_url = 'https://web.archive.org/web/20120220200643/http://allthingsd.com/20111108/gone-in-a-flash-adobe-said-halting-development-on-mobile-version-of-its-plug-in/'; var disqus_identifier = '142116 http://allthingsd.com/?p=142116'; var disqus_container_id = 'disqus_thread'; var disqus_domain = 'disqus.com'; if ( typeof(disqus_shortname) == 'undefined' ) { var disqus_shortname = 'allthingsd'; } //var disqus_shortname = 'allthingsd'; var disqus_title = "Gone in a Flash?
