On August 15, Adobe will no longer offer Flash for Android through the Google Play store. Any Android device that does not already have Flash will be unable to download it any longer. It is the end of a very long, difficult road for Adobe as it cedes video on mobile browsers to HTML5.
Come tomorrow, if you do not already have Flash on your Android smartphone, you will not be able to get it. Adobe has planned to put Flash for Android to rest since fall 2011. The company announced on June 28th that it would un-publish Flash from Google Play on August 15.
Tomorrow will not bring the complete end of Flash support on Android devices. Existing Flash for Android users will continue to receive security updates, but that is the extent to which Adobe will continue to support the plug-in.

Came to an end the fight Google x Oracle, at least in the courts.
This is because a California jury today declared the innocence of the search company, on charges of patents infringement of the Java language to develop the Android operating system.
According to the website The Verge, the ten members of the jury agreed unanimously that Oracle has not proved any of his accusations that Google had infringed the patents of Java to develop for Android tablets and smartphones.
Google issued a statement on the decision:
“The sentence that Android does not infringe patents of Oracle is a victory not only for Google, but for the entire Android ecosystem.”

Mobile advertising network Millenial Media announced today that the Android OS has surpassed Apple’s iOS as the leading smartphone OS on its network.
The news lends further support for a prediction Gartner Research made in September: that the open-source Android OS would be the leading smartphone OS by 2014.
