Video of Adobe Flash 10 running on Android T-Mobile G1 Google Phone

Adobe showed at the Adobe MAX 2008 developer conference Flash 10 running on Android. See a video of full flash running on the T-Mobile G1 below.
The Apple iPhone might never get Adobe Flash because it would impact Apple’s software control over the iPhone. See this new Wired article about this topic. This is a real disadvantage for the iPhone as Flash is very popular on the web especially for video playback and online games.
When the Flash Player 10 will be released on the Android OS is not known yet.

Adobe confirms Flash for iPhone is ready to rock – Ball is in Apple’s court now

iPhone owners have been lamenting the absence of full Flash support on their web-savvy handsets since Apple launched the original iPhone with the promise of full web browsing functionality. iPhone detractors have pointed out the iPhone and iPhone 3G’s lack of Flash support as a critical flaw in the handset. Whatever the case, it’s sad that Apple didn’t consider Flash a part of the full web browsing experience.

Adobe Flash on iPhone 3G?

And, following on months of speculation about when, or even if, Flash was ever going to be supported on the iPhone and iPhone 3G, Adobe has confirmed that Flash is ready to rock the wireless web on the iPhone. The only hangup from this point on is Apple’s approval of Flash for the iPhone.

Adobe Systems’ Sr. Director of Engineering, Paul Betlem confirmed during an Adobe Town Hall meeting that his team was actively developing Flash support on the iPhone. His team is apparently ready to go live with Flash on the iPhone as soon as Apple gives the go-ahead – the ball is now in Apple’s court, as Adobe waits on Cupertino to give their nod of approval.

Full Flash support has eluded the mobile space for too long. Mobile phone processors are typically too weak to make desktop Flash solutions work, and the pared down version of Flash for mobile phones, dubbed Flash Lite, fails to deliver a full Flash experience. But, with the prospect of a custom-tailored iPhone Flash solution from Adobe, the mobile world could be on the verge of seeing full-fledged Flash support on the iPhone.

So, get on the horn and ask your local Congressman to push Apple to approve Adobe’s iPhone Flash solution. What? It doesn’t work like that? Oh fiddle-sticks.
