Adobe Ends Flash in Android 4.1

Adobe announced it will not support Flash Player browser plugin for Android 4.1 and onward.

 Jobs  was right in his open letter to Adobe as far as Flash was concerned.Whether Jobs was only right due to the fact that iOS dominates the mobile platform given it the ability deny the Flash Player in the browser, thus making impossible to achieve the needed usage to justify the support of the platform or Flash is in fact a 'relic'.
In  Nov 2011, Adobe announced HTML5 is the future.
Now it is the end of the line for Flash on the mobile devices. Adobe announced one will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th.

What are your thoughts? Is Adobe calling it quits too soon?
