So when it appears on Windows tablets will Google report to them both to the competition authorities?

Whatever happened to those old Flash alternatives we used to get on Windows?

Soon soon. BBC have tweeted they're testing the jellybean iplayer. It's an app I use daily, so once that's released, flash is binned for me.

There are a vast number of casual games in Flash and new ones constantly being created. Much as the greedy smartphone and tablet app store operators might want it to, Flash isn't going away.

It can always be sideloaded. Getting it to work in releases of Android after 4.1 may be more difficult.

Really though if none of the mobile platforms offer it and mobile browsing contiues its growth then it probably will die more quickly than we think. Playing a flash game on an android device has never been an enjoyable experience.

"It also suggested that smartphone owners who had upgraded to the latest system should uninstall the Flash Player if it was already on their device."

'It f'ollows a decision to halt development of the software for mobile devices.'

So the whiz is that Windows RT is a desktop device?

Strangely 'it has said it would continue to offer security updates and bug fixes for existing versions until September 2013.'

""The second area is premium copy-protected video for people who have high value video, like movie studios or cable companies, who want viewers to watch the video anywhere but also want to make sure its protected.""

" it acknowledged that HTML 5 had become "the best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across mobile platforms""

So which way do they want it?
