Adobe has decided to unpublish Flash Player for Android on August 15th, and is also recommending all Android 4.1 users to uninstall the plug-in if they have already installed it on their device.

Google Chrome already runs Adobe Flash in a sandbox, and the Pepper API will allow it to go cross-platform with its plugin support. Moreover, the Pepper API will provide Flash for both x86 and x64 installations, although Adobe killed Flash for x64 Linux desktops back in June 2010.

Let’s take a look at how Adobe predicted Flash’s future wrong.

Adobe Systems has announced Flash Player 11 and Adobe AIR 3 software to enable the next generation of immersive application experiences across devices and platforms. Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 allow game publishers to instantly deliver console-quality 2D and 3D games over the Internet to anyone with a PC, tablet, smartphone or connected TV.

Yesterday, Adobe announced the release of Flash Media Server 4.5 and Flash Access 3.0, tools to allow publishers to host streaming Flash video content.

Adobe launched a preview version of EDGE – a tool that allows design professionals to create animated web content by the use of non-Flash web technologies like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript.

Swiffy is a new Google Labs product which allows developers to convert Flash SWF files to HTML5, allowing reuse of Flash content on devices without a Flash player.

Adobe has recently released a new update to the Flash Player in the Android Market. The current build number for Flash Player 10.3 for Android 2.2 and above is 10.3.185.23.

Adobe has just announced that they will be releasing Flash 10.2, for Android based tablets and handsets, next week on March 18th.

Motorola has started rolling out a new software update for Xoom, that will prepare the tablet for Flash 10.2.

Flash sandboxing can be broken without writing a single line of code. Ross has proved this by simply changing Windows settings, which was enough for cracking the sandbox on Adobe Flash.
