There will be no certified implementations of Adobe Systems’ Flash Player for Android 4.1, and on August 15 the player will take a bow andno longer be available for download from Google’s app store Play,Adobe Said in blog post on Thursday.
Adobe announced its plans to discontinue development of the Flash Player for mobile browsers last November, and is now revealing details of the timetable.
There will be no certified version of Flash Player for Android 4.1, which was announced earlier this week at Google’s I/O developer conference. The certification refers to the work Adobe does with smartphone and tablet vendors to ensure the software works correctly when preloaded on a device.
Beginning on August 15, Adobe will also use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to those devices that already have the player installed – but only for older versions of Google’s operating system. Once a device has been upgraded to Android 4.1, Adobe wants users to remove Flash Player. That’s because the company hasn’t continued developing and testing the application for this new version of Android and its browser options.
Still, users that today have a smartphone or tablet based on Android 4.0 or an older version of the operating system, and haven’t installed the application are are recommended to download it before Aug. 15.
For developers, Adobe will instead concentrate on HTML5 and allowing them to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores, it said

Apple is already not supporting Flash on its handheld devices i.e. iPhone and iPad . For media streaming engines and for web developers it was a pain to feed multiple formats to support all the devices out there . But yea now with Android out of the game too , its time for HTML5. One
I wonder what Android has decided on the file format they’ll support . Like for Apple devices its MP4 . So may be for Android they’ll start supporting MP4 too or may be ‘Ogg’.

Adobe Flash is working fine on Jellybean, and am sure that it will continue working for the coming years till every website switches to better standards like HTML5, its hard to understand all the hate for flash from the apple users, its there for reason, you cant have everything on HTML5 yet, let the standard evolve, till then we need flash, its working fine on my Galaxy Nexus running JellyBean (Android 4.1), and it will continue working :)
