UPDATE: And its official. Click here.
Remember how Steve Jobs loathed Adobe Flash because it was not suitable for mobile devices despite Adobe claiming it was? Well, it turns out the late Apple CEO was right. A forthcoming announcement received by ZDNet reveals that Adobe will cease development of Flash Player on new mobile devices, OS or browsers. Adobe however, will continue to support existing platforms and versions by providing bug fixes and security updates.
With Flash out of the picture for mobile devices, Adobe will invest heavily in HTML5, which of course is already backed up by Apple for their mobile devices.

Need to build on core only. Too many non directional efforts are not worth attempting.
