The TiVo Premiere uses Flash for their UI, and a TiVo will last many years beyond this end of life. The article wasn't clear if it included this use of Flash, or if it is just for TV's using Flash in browsers?
I think Flash still has a place in the market (device UI, embedded online gaming, although HTML 5 is catching up really fast), but with the explosion of connected mobile devices that have a hard time with Flash, that place has gotten much smaller.
