"...the company [Adobe] will continue to work on Flash Player for desktop operating systems, but one can't help but see the platform as a whole standing on fairly shaky footing at this point."

This seems ominous for the web client. Any offical comments?

So at some point in the fairly distant future BBO will need to be ported to HTML5. Possibly making it usable on mobile devices. BBO moved from a stand-alone application to being Web-based with very few dramas. Moving from one web based technology to another is something that many people wouldn't even notice!

Also, this is a long way from being an issue. Flash isn't about to disappear overnight.

Adobe is moving away from mobile Flash for now.
There is no actual impact on the web client.
