Adobe Flash on Every Phone (Except iPhone)

The story about Flash on smartphones (or lack thereof) has been dragging on for so long many of you will surely be surprised it wasn't solved by now, but luckily, we're getting there.

At the MAX conference in Los Angeles Adobe is showing off Flash Player 10.1 for smartphones. In short, this is the version of mobile Flash you've been waiting for. You can expect faster rendering, lower memory consumption and less battery drain.

Most importantly, all (but one) major platforms are supported: Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile, webOS, and BlackBerrys, and we can expect Flash for most of these somewhere in the first half of 2010. All these companies have joined Adobe's Open Screen Project, but one very important company is still missing: Apple.
