It's a clear signal to Web designers, however, that they should rely less on Flash, or risk future Mac users finding their sites inaccessible. "We're happy to continue to support Flash on the Mac and the best way for users to always have the most up to date and secure version is to download it directly from Adobe," Apple spokesman Bill Evans said. This doesn't mean it's banned, but users will have to download and install it themselves. Apple said it was simply a measure to make sure Mac owners downloaded the most recent version of the software. This rejection of Flash has now extended to the desktop, with Apple last week declaring it wouldn't ship Mac computers with Flash pre-installed, Reuters reports. Apple grand high muckamuck Steve Jobs has been very clear and very vocal on this: it's never going to happen. So Apple's iOS will soon be alone in shunning Flash 10.1. Mobile owners lucky enough to have Android 2.2 are already enjoying Flash 10.1, with the free app already downloaded 2 million times from the Android Market. Many sites use it for navigation, video and Flash-based gaming, meaning they don't currently function properly on a phone. The software will allow mobile browsers to load websites that use Flash. No timeline was announced for when each platform is expected to be flashed up.
Apple's iOS is now the only major smart phone platform that will not allow it.įlash 10.1's Windows Phone 7 and Symbian debuts were made official by Adobe at its MAX conference in Los Angeles. Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry, MeeGo and Symbian will all run Adobe Flash Player 10.1 in the future, joining Android and HP's WebOS 2.0 platform.
