No flash for Jelly Bean

<< < (2/2)

CBers:
There is no FLASH installed on the Nexus 7 and you cannot download it from the PLAY store, or install from a backup, as it says "Your device is incompatible" !!

This has been discussed at length by Google and Adobe and all over the tech press.  It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. HTML5 is becoming the new standard and YouTube and many other sites are now coded in HTML5 for video.   Older games and such will slowly but surely also be converted to HTML5 as well.  It's just a matter of time.   The entire web is headed towards that direction.

S.Prime:
Youtube's iframe embed code detects the code your browser or device supports and displays it in either Flash or HTML5. Which is the reason Youtube works. Just a FYI.

Yup it'll be a bumpy road as websites are forced to drop Flash, but eventually it won't be such a big deal.  Problem though is so many mom and pop sites were written years ago by overzealous developers who jumped onto the Flash bandwagon, and many of these sites won't be updated anytime soon.

Luckily my Fire still supports Flash, but a day will come when people will look at Flash as they now look at Real Audio.  A once 'must have' app that's become totally legacy.
