French newspaper Le Figaro interviewed Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman where she discussed webOS. Earlier this month she said she would make a decision about the fate of webOS.

Adobe will send its last update of its Flash Player mobile for Android 4.0 by the end of 2011.

In a report earlier this month, Adobe announced that the mobile Flash will discontinue and have plans. 

Early adopters of the Galaxy Nexus are confirming that the Android 4.0 device is currently incompatible with Adobe’s Flash Player. In addition, a volume-muting software bug is also present. Google did mention Flash has not been released for Ice Cream Sandwich yet but Adobe will support Flash for the new operating system. It’s also quite interesting that it lacks Flash support.
