As Steve Jobs predicted over five years ago, Adobe’s Flash is on the way out. How do we know for sure? Well, the company that makes it has taken a radical step and announced it won’t support Flash in Android 4.1 (aka Jelly Bean) and no longer provide new installs for any Android devices after 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,” the company wrote on its website. “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 above image of the device was sent to BGR and pretty much shows that the Tab will be announced as a new Verizon device on Thursday. Good news for those of you waiting for a competitor to the iPad to appear on your favorite carrier. In case you’ve forgotten, here’s the specs for the new device, just to get you excited:
