Will Adobe Bring Flash To Windows Phone 8 Devices? | WMPoweruser
Not that I care too much about Flash at this point, but still an interest topic.

No. MS is moving away from flash. in the Windows 8 Metro version of IE10, only MS approved web sites can use Flash, and even that was a compromise, origionally they weren't going to allow Flash in Metro IE 10 at all.
When I first got a Motorola Droid, I used to get irritated that Flash was not supported. Then it came and the experience was terrible. The only thing that worked well consistently were ads. Now on my Windows Phone, in Windows 8 Metro IE 10, and on my wife's iPad, when i come to a website that uses Flash I get mad at the website developer for still using Flash and not updating to HTML 5 yet. Flash websites are fewer and farther between.
Plus Adobe announced months ago that they had discontinued development of Flash for mobile.

And the current version of Flash isn't even approved to run in the just announced Android 4.1 (Jellybean)

You don't have to convince most of us here. We've been doing fine without flash for the past 2 years Honestly, at this point I wish they just kill of flash, so our phones don't ever get directed there. Since IE is more likely to do so when in desktop mode.
WTF? You mean it doesn't work on Win phones? This is just like the Palm fiasco! "Oh don't worry it's coming!" They said... it never did!Will Adobe Bring Flash To Windows Phone 8 Devices? | WMPoweruser

Hmmm... so basically if you run into a site that uses flash your up poopie creek with no paddle right? :dry
As of August 15 NO mobile platform will support Flash. It never came to WebOS, MS and Apple were clear that they didn't want it, and on August 15 it will be pulled from the Android Market (Google Play). I come across Flash required sites less than once a week now a days. It really isn't a big deal any more. Sure there are a few sites that still rely on Flash, but HTML 5 is starting to be the preferred and more common web technology, and all mobile platforms support HTML 5.
