IE On ARM Will Be Flash-less

Alex Wilhelm:

Also announced today: Internet Explorer on ARM machines will not have Flash support.

Ryan Kim, reporting Adobe's optimism 1 year ago:

This year, the company expects more than 132 million smartphones to have Flash Player installed, including 40 percent of all smartphones shipped in the first half of the year, while more than 50 tablets will ship or be able to download Flash Player.

Danny Winokaur, Adobe's Official Blog, four months ago today:

We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations.

Anyone know any good Flash developer courses?

OS X Coming to ARM?

Killian Bell:

Tristan Schaap wrote a thesis on his time at Apple shortly after he left the company in 2010, but he was unable to publish it until August 16 2011, when an embargo protecting the sensitive subject matter was lifted. It’s now available for anyone to read, and it details Apple’s work on porting its Snow Leopard desktop operating system to devices powered by ARM processors.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Jobs was porting OS X to Intel well before theirs were the superior processors. Apple like to have options. I'm sure they run all kinds of scenarios and have plenty of avenues being explored at any given time.
