Chrome for Android 'won't get Flash' In a blog post, Adobe's Bill Howard wrote: "As we announced last November, Adobe is no longer developing Flash Player for mobile browsers, and thus Chrome for Android Beta does not support Flash content." Steve Jobs, Apple's late CEO, denied that claim in a post on his company's website. He said Adobe Flash was not an open technology, was unstable and had a negative effect on battery life. He also pointed out that there were alternative technologies for things such as web video. Last November, Jobs appeared to have been proved right when Adobe said it was abandoning development of mobile Flash. The company said it would focus on HTML 5 for mobile devices and work with Flash "where it can have the most impact for the industry." Announcing Chrome for Android, yesterday, Sundar Pichai, Google's senior vice president for Chrome and apps, emphasised the speed and simplicity of the new mobile browser. He said that Google had built Chrome for Android "from the ground up" with mobile in mind. He added: "We reimagined tabs so they fit just as naturally on a small-screen phone as they do on a larger screen tablet. Chrome for Android supports a single sign-in feature that allows users to log-in and sync bookmarks between mobile and desktop versions of Chrome.
