Is Adobe Flash going to work in WP8?

[eortizr]

Since Windows 8 now supports Adobe Flash, does that means that WP8 will too?

Afraid not. No more flash for any smartphones anymore. Adobe said no more after ICS came out for Android.

No. Mobile Flash was discontinued by Adobe. The latest version of Android does not even have it.

Despite what others have said, I'll say "possibly". Adobe discontinued mobile Flash development, yes. However, they're clearly still developing some kind of mobile (Aka, ARM) version, since there will (reportedly) be full Flash support in Windows RT (Windows on ARM). I imagine Flash support could very well be one of the rumored "surprises" left for WP8

Hopefully not since Flash is buggy, resource hungry and has historically been a highway for security issues.

Shame they did it. Flash is still going to be around for a while and forever.

Flash will definitely not going to be around forever, it's just a matter of time before it gets dropped by all web pages worth noting.

Flash are dead, end of story...

This.

And I really doubt it will be.

Apple did everyone a favor by helping to push that piece of crap into an early grave.

So, I was playing with the Surface w/ Windows RT and it played Flash content without any issues, I was even able to go to the Hulu website and watch couple of episodes. So does that means we are going to have Flash support on WP8? I know flash is not going to last forever, but right know there are a lot of sites that still uses Flash, (Hulu for example).

I was so grateful that they did that.

Because you updated it from ICS in which it carried over, but if the phone came out with JB on it then there would be no flash. Flash is dead.
