What makes it a bigger bummer to me, I installed the latest Jellybean 4.1 OTA ROM, and god, just god, Jellybean is the best Android OS ever released. Project Butter just makes iOS crap it's pants off.

A Galaxy Nexus + bootloader-unlocked + rooted + CWM + flashed with deodexed insecure 4.1 + Franco kernel equipped + 1.67GHz MPU + 512MHz GPU + SiO + the fact that I got it, brand new, for 325$ = Ohmyinserteveryholyimageinhere.

BUT - Regarding the fact that Flash is one of the key-selling points of Android, what could possibly happen now that Flash got obliterated?

Windows and IE explorer will support flash for long even if IE isn't the best when it comes to flash. flash for andorid is one of the great things so you can watch videos in the browser. Too few using great html5 today.

I think it should be up to the users to decided what to use. Me at least will go with windows tablet so I CAN what flash when I need to until all services support htlm5 in a great way.

Android is way too boring and if flash goes away ,they gonna go away or perhaps alternatives might get a chance to poke in.

I still haven't precisely known why exactly Adobe wants to cut Flash. I have Flash 11 installed on Jellybean and it works just as fine.

Maybe finally we will get rid of this piece of crap once and forever.

My problem is that there is still soooooo much flash content on the web, and to have non-flash-supporting OS's creates a frustrating experience when you encounter that content. The number one priority is that mobile users have access to mobile content--that's the entire point. So long as the content is flash, the devices and software need to be able to play flash on demand.

See, that is the point, once mobile users have no access to flash ads, flash will fade away in a couple months, as web will change in such a way, that it will allow those ads to reach their destination. And flash on desktop will be shortly to follow, as no sane website will keep two different sets of ads - one for desktop and one for mobile, if latter is supported on desktop too.

At least that is how I see it :)

I have a Nexus and I've installed everything but Flash. I'm living the dream.
