Flash is not dead yet ... its last legs are being saved by the BBC,

"Adobe has overturned a decision to remove its Flash media player from Google's Android app store. In early August, Adobe said its Flash Player plug-in for Android was being removed because development of the code had been halted.

However, pressure from UK "strategic partners" have made Adobe make the Flash Player available again. The plug-in is only available via Google Play UK and would be removed again "soon", said Adobe.

"Flash Player continues to be available on Google Play for users in the UK for a short while due to requests from strategic partners," said a spokesperson for Adobe.

The BBC was one of the strategic partners that asked Adobe to delay removal. Flash is the technology underpinning the BBC's iPlayer application."
