Ice Cream Sandwich will not have Adobe Flash support at launch Android fans that went out and purchased the much-hyped Galaxy Nexus will have to deal with no Flash support, at least for the next month.
Google and Adobe have confirmed that there are no current versions of mobile Flash that support Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Says Adobe (via BGR):

Adobe will release one more version of the Flash Player for mobile browsing, which will provide support for Android 4.0 - expected to be released before the end of this year.


The company recently announced it was discontinuing development on its mobile Flash player.

I think moving toward html5 is a good idea, but they shouldn't stop developing flash until html5 is completed.
