Flash falls.
You may recall that we’ve been migrating our clients off of Flash already — mostly at their own request. Adobe’s announcement yesterday that they were going to stop supporting a mobile device version of the Flash player will only serve to hasten that. Protestations otherwise, it’s hard to see Adobe’s announcement as anything but a no-confidence vote either in their platform or their ability to sell it. What they’ve done is reinforce in client minds that Flash is a dying technology, and few people want to hitch themselves to that.

I’m just tired to running into flash on my iPad and finding I can’t do anything with it.
Hopefully that will happen to you less and less as time goes on.
