Adobe to stop future development of Flash for mobile?

Seems as though even in death, the late Steve Jobs is getting his way. According to reports, Adobe will no longer support the development of Flash player for mobile. Sources close to Adobe have noted that they will continue to support current versions of Android and the BlackBerry PlayBook, but will now spend their energy on HTML5 and embedded Flash or Air applications for mobile devices (phones and tablets).
“Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer adapt Flash Player for mobile devices to new browser, OS version or device configurations. Some of our source code licensees may opt to continue working on and releasing their own implementations. We will continue to support the current Android and PlayBook configurations with critical bug fixes and security updates”
An official announcement from Adobe is expected to come soon.
