Yeah my next phone will be a Christmas 09 phone :) What a coincidence, so Flash will be popping up around the same time Android Eclair with OpenGL ES 2.0 support lands on Tegra-powered Android phones….

I had flash on my Pogo phone years ago. The entire O/S was built in and around flash. And 3rd party apps HAD to be written in flash... I agree with Scott.

It is significant. I know I will be one overloading the network. I've been waiting for flash since I've gotten this phone. Prayers have been answered. Thankyou ADOBE. This comment was posted from Googles ingeniously designed and distributed operating system that is the wave of the future. I agree with you Rob. It is significant.

I hope Flash never officially makes it to the Android (or iPhone for that matter). On the web I have only seen flash add value to a handful of sites... its also has accessibility issues. As a systems guy, Flash rapes CPUs without looking back. Wave good bye to your battery when your pounded by three vector intensive advertisements per page. We don't need more proprietary content platforms. We are blessed with modern browsers on these devices lets not load them up with crud. I’m a web developer and system administrator.

Sure it's been Flash 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, and now 3.1 ... but, hey, the market has been low to mid range devices (handsets, PMPs, etc) up until just last year. Now it's about $600 SmartPhones (thanks Apple!) ... :) So, yes FP 10 is being worked on, and hopefully it'll be out end of year on some cool devices (Android, Palm based devices, Nokia, et al with the Open Screen Project) ...iPhone? Well, it's a business thing, not technical! I doubt we'll see it until new devices start stealing away Apple's market share and they start to care about features like Flash ... BTW, those interested in developing apps and content for Flash 10 (or Flash Lite for that matter), can pick up our book due out soon: http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=9781430219040 You do know Flash has been on devices for more than 4 years, right?

FYI, Flash is already on Android. Not OFFICIALLY, of course, but if you are using Haykuro's port of the HTC Hero firmware on the HTC Dream/G1, there is built-in Flash in the browser. I think it is Flash 7, but that's still better than nothing. Um.. FYI, Flash is already on Android.

So Flash would violate this rule (also the reason Java is not on the iPhone). Android, however, has no rules! Yeah! :) Apple’s licensing agreement states that you’re not allowed to run any software in order to run other software. So Flash would violate this rule (also the reason Java is not on the iPhone).
