WinPhone 7.8 and 8 : flash 10?

[grasshoper]

Hi all ,

I just wondered if anyone knows if next wp os's will bring flash player 10 to IE ?

I figure we have fp 9 right now, while most websites use version 10. So it would be a logic upgrade for msft to stay competitive...

Anyone has an idea about this ?

Most likely ms would bring it. It's basically wimdows 8. Smartphone edition

I hope not. Adobe Flash is a buggy memory hog even on desktop PCs. I'd love to see it die and be replaced by HTML5 everywhere, including on the desktop.

I hate to be this guy, but I have answered this question at least twice. The answer is no. If you want to know why, use search.

I didnt know that WP has support for Flash Player 9?

It doesn't. There is a slim chance we'll see limited support in WP8 since it works in Win RT also. We'll have to see

No it won't. Even Adobe is slowly killing off Flash. It's an old, outdated, insecure technology:

The beginning of the end for Adobe Flash

Maybe just for flash videos that play in the standalone player similar to how html5 videos play now. It won't be a full on plugin tho.

Flash? Ewww

That's old tech lets all move on to html5 a easier and smoother internet for all!

 

[grasshoper]

Thx for your answers.

I agree that flash is old and outdated technology, but some useful sites I check every so often use it, sadly.

It's not a big deal if it doesn't come to wp 8 anyway, as you say people should go for HTML 5 now...

And sorry if the question has already been answered somewhere in this forum. I didn't find it!

IE10 has limited flash capabilities from my understanding so presumably that will be what is carried through to WP8 as well...and yes I am too lazy to search.

 

[selfcreation]

honestly, No they wont.

flash is dieing and being replaced by HTLM5 , even youtube is switching. most new sites are coded in HTML5 and existing sites are slowly switching.

maybe on W8 , but i dont expect to see it on WP8.

No chance Flash going to wp8. I think adobe even said mobile flash is dead.

 

[socialcarpet]

Absolutely not.

Adobe has officially given up on mobile Flash development.

Exclusive: Adobe ceases development on mobile browser Flash, refocuses efforts on HTML5 (UPDATED) | ZDNet

...and with good reason. It's a garbage platform that makes phones run hot, devours memory and battery life. It's just junk. Adobe AIR and HTML5 will replace it. Expect WP8 to have more well integrated work arounds and web developers will already be dropping it if they haven't already because crapdroids are the only mobile devices that support it.

Apple did us all a favor by hastening it's demise, believe me.

Windows Phone 7 does not have adobe flash enabled at any v ersion level. There has been talk ie rumors that there may be flash in W8P not sure if that is certain.

They are killing flash on android as well, if it hasn't happened already. Pulled from the marketplace, no more support, won't be seen at all on future devices, etc.

Mobile flash is dead. No mobile OS will have it.

I like how people think Flash is only for video streaming. It's cute.

Maybe it just needs some love and tenderness. Someone to care and increase its insecurity.

(Bye-bye flash. By the way, thanks for making me buy a new computer a few years before I had to.)

Flash

Everyone is correct in saying that Flash mobile is dead, however, what many do not know is that the Adobe AIR runtime is a solution that allows developers to deploy Flash apps to iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac. Also, Window 8 Metro WILL support Flash and Adobe AIR. Microsoft made a singular exception for the Flash plugin (after saying they wouldn't) in IE10 Metro and the Metro UI for Adobe AIR. I have not heard about Windows Phone 8, but it seems pretty likely, given it's availability on iOS and Android currently.
