As previously announced Adobe has discontinued Flash Player for Android removing it from the Google Play Store today.

--
Beginning August 15th we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th.

The easiest way to ensure ongoing access to Flash Player on Android 4.0 or earlier devices is to use certified devices and ensure that the Flash Player is either pre-installed by the manufacturer or installed from Google Play Store before August 15th. If a device is upgraded from Android 4.0 to Android 4.1, the current version of Flash Player may exhibit unpredictable behavior, as it is not certified for use with Android 4.1. Future updates to Flash Player will not work. We recommend uninstalling Flash Player on devices which have been upgraded to Android 4.1.

No, flash is not a bad thing. Look how many websites nowadays with flash content. Its that some people don't like anything other than that fruit brand product that start with an "A".

Good. Fuck off and die Adobe, you and your antiquated piece of spywear. Now to kill off the desktop version and make this world a better place. A 20 year old fucking wrapper dressed up like a 21st century whore. Nobody will miss the battery drain, or the CPU hogging or the massive security hole. We should hold a funeral. Ha Ha.

You can still download flash from many other unofficial app stores so it's not a big deal.
