Adobe is dramatically scaling back development of Flash, and as part of it they have discontinued development of both Flash on Linux (other than through Chrome) and Flash Mobile.

Adobe is in the business of selling development tools. They can see, as well as anyone else, that the writing is on the wall and Flash's days are numbered, so instead of committing resources to a sinking ship, they are gracefully putting Flash to rest and making themselves ready for the next big thing (which right now seems to be HTML5).

I say good riddance to Flash. The time when Google needed it to differentiate from iPhone is long past. Now it seems flash is mainly used to power game sites for kids. Hopefully good riddance to that in favor of HTML 5. Thankfully, the era of flash menus is now a fading, painful memory. 99% of the Flash I see these days is ads, animated in exquisitely bad taste.
