Ordered a HTC One S... cancelled.

---

First, Apple are suing the hell out of Android so it probably won't last long anyway

Now no flash support either?? One of the only things Android had over Apple is gone.

Might as well just get a phone that does the same thing and looks much better (instead of every Android phone just getting bigger and uglier)

P.S. this doesn't go without a big F**K YOU to Adobe as well

Edit: okay, I can't bring myself to buy any Apple product other than an OG iPod, so I might just get a Nokia 3310...

They won't be able to do much outside the US where the patent system isn't so messed up. I'm sure Android will live, but if not in the US, then imported. Although I doubt it will die in the US anyways.
Also, you must have lived under a rock for a very long time. Adobe Flash is an extremely old technology. It is a 19 year old goddam technology and its STILL being updated! This is just a small part of the transition to HTML5

thanks for the reply

what I mean is, I know Flash is old (and sucks, and has always sucked and been buggy/the main cause of browsers crashing, etc..) but now Android 4.0.x won't support Flash at all

There is a workaround but it involves installing DolphinHD web browser or something

Which isn't a problem at all, and you should do this anyway because it's (one of) the best browser(s) for Android.

1 - Apple isn't doing **** about Android its mostly Samsung hardware, android is going no where.

2 - current ics has flash plus all u need to do is Download an apk for flash to work on jelly bean.

3- most android phones look totally different

Unlike all iOS phones. They all look the same.

Might want to give WP8 a shot.

Get your facts straight killer. 4.0.anything still supports flash...Adobe is just not updating the app. Not a big deal since sites are going away from flash, so a further update should not be needed. You can sideload flashplayer (can be found NUMEROUS places on XDA) onto any android version. I am currently running 4.1, and flash works just fine. Just because you read it on the internet doesn't make it true...

I was thinking the same thing, but the fact I upgraded my SXE to 4.0.3 and now, even though Flash is installed it says "this site requires flash" on every flash site that worked beforemakes it true.

That Act I would describe something as "Somebody put fire on his/her house in fear of rats"....lol....

A patent infringement suit for something like 'Rectangular shape with rounded corners' ( even if they belieive they invented it- if search internet u will see there were products with that shape before ipad) or tap to call if its a phone number is not Andorid OS's core...

If u check here u can see there were not only claims by apple but also against apple too.. They also violated many n settled even with nokia n cisco etc...

Even brand iPhone was Cisico's before Apple , i believe they had only 'i'. They had Voip phone with that brand name... Now they go all over Android phone companies for small small claims coz their butts gets heated up when sitting on those big cupertino seats watching the growth of Android phones....

Even their much hyped 'Siri' is being laughed at...

Edit : Flash issue is a matter of time when HTML5 support built into the browsers . Adobe said on announcement that HTML5 is here as it supports flash
