Steve Jobs was right: Adobe to kill mobile flash

(10 years ago, you could barely scrape more than 12 frames per second out of a small 600x400 pixel Flash window).

10 years ago Apple computers didn’t have the hardware to play swfs correctly. Today they still don’t. The difference between 10 years ago and today is Apple’s (mobile) devices are actually being used to surf the internet.
It's not just the hardware. Even if all phones could play an swf at 99 frames a second, the screen is still too small for an swf built for a PC. Plus the time it takes to download an swf.
