Nobody ever said that.
All of this would seem to contradict that:
And one of the big advertising claims of Android will also go by the wayside.
It's still a valid advertising point. Because they're not going to continue to develop the platform (but will still do security updates as needed) doesn't mean this becomes any less of a 'advertising claim'.
Good.I think even android will benefit from this since flash is power hungry.and so will my iPad
Android has already and continue to benefit by having more options.
For more than a year Android/Google/Carriers have pushed that only on Android can you have access to Flash sites and video. As Adobe stops further development of the platform, that push will go away.
There's no reason they have to stop pushing this.
Again, Flash isn't just disappearing, neither is the plugin on mobile browsers.
And no, nobody said it... but I didn't say they did. People are posting here (and elsewhere) like Flash has been removed from every website and cell phone.
I don't see how anyone is 'unnerved' by this, unless Don is referring to some of the overreactions quoted above.
