Adobe is not abandoning mobile, but in another form,
app generation and HTML 5:

Seln ZDNet, Adobe indicates in an internal memo that the company would have
now the only activity in mobile is the tools allowing
flash developers to generate them in a format compatible with different Apps
Store. Mentioning the possibility for certain partners to continue the
development, the firm plans support for current machines (Android,
Playbook) for corrections of only critical bugs and vulnerabilities
security.

This should beconfirmed within the week.

This is therefore one of the advantages put forward by the competition compared to
the iPhone and the iPad which will fly away, implicitly proving Steve right

can confirm in the medium and long term the question that arises on the
survival of flash especially in the face of HTML 5.
