And there it is. Market forces and the user experience prevailed yet again.
Sweet. Maybe it’ll begin a quick retreat fom desktops as well.
The big question is: why did it take so long?
So, how will I be able to enjoy my internet radio or on line videos?
I’m on the outside of the mobile game looking in and considering when I should join the mobile revolution? It seems most web based radio, or at least my favorite talk stations, use some kind of flash.
Is there an other solution?
In short, I feel this marks what will be a quickening end for Flash. It’s only a matter of time. “Mobile”, which includes phones and tablets, is too much of a forcing function, so every website will need to consider it by either migrating to HTML5 or by developing an app, or both. The iPad alone was enough to force sites to very quickly migrate away from Flash, and now all of mobile, including Android phones and tablets is going to force the hand. I would not be surprised if the sites and services you are looking at haven’t already moved away from Flash, to HTML5, or written apps.

There have been standards for listening to radio over the internet for a very very long time, pre-dating flash by a long shot.
While it is not the only “app” for it, iTunes is a fairly good example, iTunes has a section in the top left area called “Radio” where you can search for and play radio stations from all over the world.
Wow, pretty amazing that Apple almost single-handedly destroyed flash. Glad I didn’t start learning glad animation.
just because they dropping support and new version doesn’t mean you suddenly cannot listen to your radio anymore :s
